Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act) to the Ministry of Health (the Ministry) on 10 February 2022 for
“copies of any and all advice received by the government regarding how
public perception and concerns about potential or actual

were asked to clarify your request in order to assist the Ministry in
providing the information you are seeking.  

 

Please note that section 12(2) of the Act requires information requests to
be specified with ‘due particularity’ to allow the agency receiving your
request to identify the information you have asked for. The [1]Ombudsman

valid and the requirements of the Act will not apply. 

As a response has not been received from you to date, unfortunately the
Ministry is unable to proceed with your request; however, please note the
Ministry remains willing to engage with you on a clarified scope for your
request. To assist with any further requests, you may be interested to
know that the Ministry proactively releases lists of advice provided to
Ministers:

health response during COVID-19 is also publicly available on the Unite

Subject: Re: Your request for official information (H202201229)

 

Dear OIA Requests,

 

Your message of 24 February 2022 asked "Are you able to please clarify to
what you mean?"

 

Although I feel the original question is simple enough that it should not
require clarification, I will attempt to do so.  I asked for copies of any
and all advice received by the government regarding how public perception
and concerns about potential or actual SARS-Cov-2/COVID-19 "vaccine"
related side effects, adverse reactions, injuries and deaths can or should
be managed.

 

I request copies of any and all advice received by the government
regarding how it can manage public perceptions and concerns about the
SARS-CoV-2 "vaccine" (as described above).  

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Peter Russell
