Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) to Manatū Hauora

“Please supply all cabinet papers, memoranda, and reports received by officials and
Ministers regarding an 'International Travel Vaccination Certificate'.

relation to your request. For this reason, I have decided to partially transfer your request to
MFAT under section 14 of the Act. We also understand that this request has also been received
by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC). You can expect a response from
each agency in due course.
Under section 28(3) of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review any
