Dear Peter Russell
Official Information Act request relating to public perceptions and concerns about the SARS-
CoV-2 vaccine
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request received on 11 April 2022. You
requested:
“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"”
I have decided under section 15A of the Act to extend the time limits for deciding on your request by
an additional 10 working days. Consequently, the extended due date for your response will be
26 May 2022.
The extension is required because of the consultations needed to make a decision on your request.
Despite the extension, a response will be sent to you as soon as possible.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision under section 28(3)
of the Act.
Yours sincerely
Sarah Corbett
