Thank you for your email of 25 July 2023, asking for the following
information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):

"Could you please provide the latest available dataset of deaths where
COVID-19 is officially coded as the underlying cause by vaccination
status, where this status is defined as:

- No doses
- Partial
- Primary Course
- 1 Booster
- 2 Boosters
- 3 Boosters"

This email is to let you know that Te Whatu Ora needs more time to make a
decision on your request.

The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no
later than 20 working days after the day we received your request.
Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our
decision, to 5 September 2023.

This extension is required because the consultations necessary to make a
decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably
be made within the original time limit.

If you have any questions, please contact us at [1][Health New Zealand request email]

If you are not happy with this extension, you have the right to make a
complaint to the Ombudsman. Information about how to do this is available
at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by phoning 0800 802 602.
