Response to your request for official information
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:
“Can you please tell me how many of the 20,522 cases of Covid, reported in media by
Ministry of Health today for the last week, were vaccinated?
Please find in the table below a breakdown of the vaccination status of the cases reported
during the week of 24-30 October 2022:
Vaccination status when reported as a case
Count
No doses received prior to being reported as a case
599
Partially vaccinated
91
Fully vaccinated at least 7 days before reported as a case
3,207
Received booster at least 7 days before being reported as a case
15,128
Not eligible for vaccine due to being less than 12 years old
1,497
Total
20,522
“Also how many of the 18 COVID deaths were vaccinated already?”
The information in response to this part of your request has been withheld in full under
section 9(2)(a) to protect the privacy of natural persons, including deceased natural persons
as the number is small and/or identifiable. I have considered the countervailing public
interest in release in making this decision and consider that it does not outweigh the need to
withhold at this time.
I trust this information fulfils your request. 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:
[email address] or by calling 0800 802 602.
Please note that this response, with your personal details removed, may be published on the
Manatū Hauora website at:
www.health.govt.nz/about-ministry/information-
releases/responses-official-information-act-requests. Nāku noa, nā
