Kia ora Dan,

The information you have requested is withheld in full under the following
sections of the Act:

o Section 9(2)(b)(ii), where its release would likely unreasonably
prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied the
information;
o Section 9(2)(ba)(ii), to protect information that is subject to an
obligation of confidence and making it available would likely damage
the public interest; and
o Section 9(2)(c), to avoid prejudice to measures to protect the health
or safety of the public.

I have considered the countervailing public interest in release in making
this decision and consider that it does not outweigh the need to withhold
at this time.  

You may be interested in a summary statement with information on the
COVID-19 vaccine procurement process and the nature of the commitments
made by the Government across all the contracts. The summary statement can

decision, please feel free to contact the OIA Services Team

Subject: Official Information request - Request to view the Pfizer
contract with New Zealand

Dear Ministry of Health,

2024 07 17
I am a concerned New Zealand citizen.

In the interest of the immediate and future health of all New Zealanders,
regarding the supply and distribution of the alleged vaccines, supplied by
the pharmaceutical company, Pfizer, during the sickness pandemic, I
request to view the contract the New Zealand government signed with that
company?

The contents of that contract must be made available to all New
Zealanders, as any deals or special privileges made toward Pfizer will
affect all New Zealanders, with regard to their legal standing and the
health of future generations.

I await your early reply to my anxious request.

Yours faithfully,
Dan Varoy
