Dear Charlotte Edwards,
Thank you for your response.
I am surprised at the lack of communications with Ministry of Health - as a Utility company, and not a medical facility, I would expect Transpower to seek comprehensive medical information from the authorities before implementing an experimental medical procedure in the form of Covid-19 vaccine mandate.
Please confirm that Transpower did not seek advice from the authorities on the safety of the Covid-19 vaccines, nor did not seek advice on risks of adverse events that could injure their staff, or what precautions or treatments they should recommend in the event of a vaccine injury.
Yours sincerely,
Eric Blair

Dear Eric
I am writing in response to your latest Official Information Act (OIA) request dated 28 July 2022.
We cannot provide this as the information is not held. We therefore refuse this request under section 18(g) of the OIA.
You have a right to seek a review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available on the Ombudsman website.
