HNZ00054292 CRM:0304851

Dear hnzOIA,

Thank you for the response H2024046068.

Is the contracted freight forwarder that is referred to in this response
Kuehne and Nagel?

Please confirm if that is the case.  If there are multiple contracted
freight forwarders transporting Covid vaccines from New Zealand to the
Pacific Islands please list them all.

Does 'global mechanisms' refer solely to Covax or are there other
mechanisms?

To what countries has New Zealand donated Covid vaccines to through global
mechanisms?

Has New Zealand has donated Pfizer Covid vaccines through the global
mechanisms referred to in H2024046068 or just other COVID-19 vaccines
products?  If so please provide the number of Pfizer doses by vaccine type
(eg adult monovalent purple cap, adult monovalent grey cap, bivalent,
paediatric, infant) that have been donated through a global mechanism.

Where New Zealand donates Covid vaccines through global mechanisms, does
any of the inventory hail from vaccines that have previously been
receipted into New Zealand and not used in New Zealand?  Or have all
vaccines donated through the global mechanisms gone directly to the donee
country without being receipted into New Zealand?

If the answer to the first question in the above paragraph is yes with
regard to Pfizer vaccines, please provide by batch the number of doses
donated through global mechanisms from Pfizer vaccines receipted into New
Zealand.

Please provide any relevant indemnities New Zealand is party to with
regard to both bilateral donations and donations through global
mechanisms.

Yours sincerely,

Catherine Jamieson
