Tēnā koe Warren, 

 

Thank you for your email on 25 November 2021 where you queried:

 

"If I live in the Hutt Valley, for example, but got vaccinated in the
Wellington CBD, does that count as a Hutt Valley or Capital and Coast
vaccination?"

 

Please be advised, the information published on our website is by district
health board (DHB) of residence unless otherwise
specified : [1]www.health.govt.nz/our-work/diseases-and-conditions/covid-19-novel-coronavirus/covid-19-data-and-statistics/covid-19-vaccine-data 

 

This DHB of Residence is derived from the address of the person that was
vaccinated. So, if a person lives in the Hutt Valley but was vaccinated in
Wellington, this would be counted at Hutt Valley DHB. 

 

The Ministry also captures that DHB of Service. This is derived from the
location of the site that administered the vaccine dose. This is used when
reporting how many doses a DHB has administered (e.g. against a plan). 

 

Under section 28(3) of the Act you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to
review any decisions made under this request. The Ombudsman may be
contacted by email at: [2][email address] or by calling 0800
802 602.

Subject: Official Information request - How Covid vaccinations are
recorded by DHB.

 

Dear Ministry of Health,

On 7 November I emailed [email address]. In my email I
asked about the way vaccinations by DHB are recorded. If I live in the
Hutt Valley, for example, but got vaccinated in the Wellington CBD, does
that count as a Hutt Valley or Capital and Coast vaccination? I am yet to
receive a substantive response.

I now formally request a response to the above question.

Yours faithfully,

Warren Salisbury
