Dear Ministry of Health,
I am wanting to request the following information regarding the Governments purchase of AstraZeneca:
- How many doses were purchased?
- What was the cost?
- How many doses have been used?
- Please provide me with the documents discussing why AstraZeneca will no longer be available in New Zealand from 5 September 2022?
- And what will happen with the stock on hand at 5th September 2022?

Yours faithfully,

Thank you for that.
Wow, considering they purchased 7.6 million doses and that it will no longer be available from 4 September 2022, that seems like a massive waste of taxpayer funds.
