Subject: Official Information request - Vaccination requirements for travel to New Zealand — Scientific evidence.
From: Maxwell <[FYI request #18813 email]>
To: OIA Requests <[email address]>

Dear Ministry of Health,

I write as a New Zealand citizen.

The current advice for NZ vaccine requirements to enter as a NZ citizen listed on the Unite against Covid-19 website states:

----------------------------

You do not need to have proof of vaccination if you:

- are a New Zealand citizen. However, New Zealanders who do not have proof of vaccination must enter managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ)

----------------------------

Given the changing nature of Covid-19 and the community spread of Omicron amongst citizens of every vaccine status*. Can I please request all relevant scientific evidence/rationale correspondence which contributed to enabling this specific requirement?

* MOH cases as at 8 Mar 2022:

No dose: 3.6%
Ineligible: 14.4%
Partially vaccinated: 1.1%
Fully vaccinated > 7 days: 46.4%
Boosted > 7 days: 34.5%

Yours faithfully,

Maxwell
