The request was successful.
From: Athina Andonatou
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,
Athina A

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.
