Tēnā koe Gaye 
 
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act) to the Ministry of Health – Manatū Hauora (the Ministry) on 25 July
2024 for: 
 
“My OIA asks how many if any, batches of C19 vaccine were evaluated by NZ
authorities? 
 
Medicines are required to be approved before they are sold in New Zealand.
Medsafe does not evaluate batches as they are released in New Zealand.
Information on this process is available here:
www.medsafe.govt.nz/consumers/safety-of-...
 
What studies have been carried out on mRNA vaccine breaking the blood
brain barrier? 
 
Medsafe does not carry out studies. Please refer to online scientific
studies for further information at: [1]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/. 
 
Request a Copy of the Risk Management Plan by sponsors for C19 vaccine  
 
Summaries of Risk Management Plans are publicly available here:
[2]www.medsafe.govt.nz/COVID-19/status-of-applications.asp. 
 
Does NZ review the supplied data components for C19 vaccine or the vaccine
itself? 
 
Medsafe is not aware of the term ‘supplied data components’. Information
on Medsafe’s approval and review processes is available here:
[3]www.medsafe.govt.nz/COVID-19/covid-landing.asp. 
 
How does NZ evaluate the efficacy of transmission of C19 when transmission
was never trialled?” 
 
Medsafe has not evaluated the efficacy of transmission, and as such, this
section of your request is refused under section 18(g)(i) of the Act as
the information requested 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: [4][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: [5][email address] or by calling 0800
