Kia ora John
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act) to Manatū Hauora (the Ministry of Health) on 31 October 2022 for:
"On behalf of the citizens of New Zealand, I hereby request the UNREDACTED
contract between New Zealand and Pfizer for the Covid-19 vaccine."
The Ministry is unable to provide you with a copy of the Pfizer contract
due to commercial sensitivity. Therefore, the information you have
requested is withheld under the following sections of the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act): 

 

o Section 9(2)(b)(ii) as its release would likely unreasonably prejudice
the commercial position of the person who supplied the information.   
o Section 9(2)(ba)(ii) to protect information that is subject to an
obligation of confidence and making it available would likely damage
the public interest. 

Although the Ministry appreciates the high degree of public interest in
its vaccination programme and the Pfizer vaccine, this does not outweigh
the need to protect the commercial sensitivity of the information in the
agreement. 
There is a large amount of information publicly available about the
vaccine, including on the Medsafe website here:
[1]www.medsafe.govt.nz/COVID-19/medicine-approval-process.asp 

Under section 28(3) of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to
review any decisions made under this request. The Ombudsman may be
contacted by email at: [2][email address] or by calling 0800
802 602.
