Dear Health New Zealand,
I see the Highlanders Rugby Team feature in an advert posted on Youtube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA135A0x... that promotes covid-19 vaccination

The film references southernhealth.nz/COVID-19 which is the Southern District Health Board.

Please provide the following information:

How much was paid to the Highlanders Super Rugby Team for this advert ?
How much was paid for any Covid-19 vaccination program at New Zealand Super Rugby Teams?

Please include payments to all and any actors/players .
Please include payments for leasing space to administer vaccines and for the filming of this commercial.
Please include the minutes from any DHB budget/strategy meetings, memos, correspondence etc from when the decision to produce covid-19 vaccine adverts with Super Rugby or any sports for that matter was decided.

Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome
