Kia ora Mark,
Thank you for your request for official information received on 9 April
2023 requesting: 

“1. Can you please advise if Comirnaty has ever been authorised for use
to (1) reduce or stop transmission of Covid-19 or (2) protect against
the contraction of Covid-19? If Comirnaty has been authorised for either
of these purposes, for the wider population or any specific demographic,
please provide copies of: Any and all decisions made by the Ministry or
Minister granting such authorisation Any and all recommendations made by
the CV TAG, MAAC or any other party relied on by the Minister or
Ministry in making that decision, together with copies of the agendas
and minutes of the meeting(s) at which such recommendations were made.
 2. Please provide copies of all recommendations made by CV TAG to MAAC,
Medsafe, MoH or the Minister to date. 
3. Please provide a schedule of all CV TAG meetings to date and agendas
and minutes for each. 4. Please provide a schedule of all MAAC meetings
between July 2021 and now and agendas and minutes for each.”

The Ministry of Health has decided to extend the period of time available
to respond to your request under section 15A of the Official Information
Act 1982 (the Act) as the request necessitates a search through a large
quantity of information and meeting the original time limit would
unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Ministry.
You can now expect a response to your request on, or before, 30 May 2023.
    
You have the right, under section 28 of the Act, to ask the Ombudsman to
review my decision to extend the time available to respond to your
request.

Ngā mihi
