Subject: Official Information request - Ordering Moderna's Bivalent vaccine

Dear Pharmaceutical Management Agency,
I wrote to MOH regarding Moderna's bivalent vaccine and was advised that it was your organization that from the 1st July 2022 would be responsible for vaccine purchases. https://fyi.org.nz/request/20257/respons...

So I will ask the same questions here:
Is Pharmac looking at purchasing COVID-19 vaccine made by Moderna that targets two coronavirus variants (known as a “bivalent” vaccine)? If yes, please provide me with the following documents:
1) How many doses have been ordered?
2) Cost per dose?
3) Criteria used to assess whether to purchase or not?
4) Scientific studies used to support purchase?

Yours faithfully,
Athina

Yours faithfully,

Athina Andonatou
