Kia ora Nikita,
 
Thank you for your request of 13 December 2023 for the following
information:
 
"Every medicine and medical device in nz has a patient information sheep
esp for consumers and health professionals. I am sure you know what those
are. How come any of the Pfizer vaccine have none. I have opened boxes of
comirnaty and none had any written paper work. Why?"
 
 
Your request asks for information which is more closely aligned with the
functions of the Ministry of Health.  For this reason, Te Whatu Ora has
decided to transfer your request in full to the Ministry of Health under
section 14(b)(ii) of the Act.  You can expect a response from the Ministry
of Health in due course.
 
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: [1][email address] or by calling 0800
802 602. If you have any queries related to this request, please do not
hesitate to get in touch.  
 
Ngā mihi
