Subject: Official Information request - A copy of "trends and insights
report" , Full analysis of vaccine effectiveness 2021

Dear Ministry of Health,

I am after a copy of a report that is mentioned in the  "Science and
Insights" publication " with the title
 "Covid-19 Delta Variant Secondary attack rates August-October 2021",
"IT-4" dated  19 October 2021.

This report is also published here :
[10]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...
( Dr George Ian Town submitted the report to the Court on 4 May 2022).

This 19 Oct 2021 report measures transmission rates using data from the
covid tracer app with data up to 11 Oct 2021 (The National Contact Tracing
Solution (NCTS) cohort). 

Page 1 of this report says...
"A full analysis of vaccine effectiveness is to follow, which will account
for setting and vaccination status for both index cases and their
contacts."

I am unable to locate this "vaccine effectiveness" report on your website.
Would you kindly share a copy of this 2021 "vaccine effectiveness" report
which uses the data from The National Contact Tracing Solution (NCTS)?

This report may be held at data-enquiries at health.govt.nz, but I though
an OIA would be more transparent for public interest.

Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome

Tēnā koe Erika 

 

Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act) to the Ministry of Health – Manatū Hauora (the Ministry) on 9 August
2024 for information regarding the report titled Covid-19 Delta Variant
Secondary attack rates August-October 2021. You requested:  

 

“Page 1 of the other report says... 

"A full analysis of vaccine effectiveness is to follow, which will account
for setting and vaccination status for both index cases and their
contacts." 

  

Kindly supply this full analysis which you announced back in Oct 2021
under the Official Information Act.” 

 

As you were advised in response to your previous request (H2024046310
refers), the Ministry can confirm that the "full analysis of vaccine
effectiveness" referred to was not undertaken due to other prevailing
priorities at the time. Under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act),
agencies are not required to create new information, provide an opinion,
or compile information that is not part of the usual reporting process.
Therefore, your request for this information is refused under section
18(e) of the Act as the requested document does not exist.  

 

If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this
decision, please feel free to contact the OIA Services Team on:
[email address]. 

 

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. 

 

Nāku noa, nā
