Subject: Official Information request - Informed Consent #35 - Additive
never used in vaccine before

 

Dear Ministry of Health,

 

On the Japanese “Instructions for the Covid-19 vaccination” it states:

 

“This product contains an additive that has never been used in a vaccine
before.”

 

[2]https://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=15517&...

 

My questions please:

 

1)            Does the Comirnaty vaccine used in NZ contain this additive?

 

2)            If so what is it?

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Annie Weston
