Thank you for your request of 18 July 2024 for the following information:

Please provide a fully un-redacted copy of the contract signed with Pfizer
for supply of the Covid-19 vaccines. As a New Zealand citizen, I request
full
transparency over the details of what was signed on behalf of all New
Zealanders
with this foreign corporate entity.

Your request asks for information which is more closely aligned with the
functions of Ministry of Health.  For this reason, Health New Zealand has
decided to transfer your request in full to Ministry of Health under
section 14(b)(ii) of the Act.  You can expect a response from 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

Kia ora Steven,

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
be found

decision, please feel free to contact the OIA Services Team
