Reviews of COVID-19 Vaccine Certificates and COVID-19 Protection Framework

Scott made this Official Information request to Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet

The request was successful.

From: Scott

Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

A document dated 4 February proactively released on the DPMC website refers to two planned reviews of the COVID-19 Vaccine Certificates policy and the COVID-19 Protection Framework. The document can be accessed here:

https://dpmc.govt.nz/sites/default/files...

For the CVC review, it is stated that:

“Officials are continuing to progress the planned review of domestic COVID-19 Vaccine Certificates/My Vaccine Pass policy, which was intended to pick up any significant issues with the operation of the policy as well as any simple improvements that could be made… The timing of this review… is now tracking for late-February/early-March…”

And for the CPF review it is stated that:

“This work will be a wider review of the CPF as a whole and will assess some of the bigger picture questions about the Framework… The CPF review is on a slightly slower track than the COVID-19 Vaccine Certificates review (aiming to land this work in March)…”

I would like to request copies of both of these reviews.

Yours faithfully,

Scott
