Your request for official information, reference: HNZ00060638
Thank you for your email on 20 August 2024, asking Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora for the
following under the Of icial Information Act 1982 (the Act):
Please advise what entity had the contract or contracts for the Covid 19 Vaccination
Centres that were located at Bledisloe and Fergusson Port of Auckland terminals.
Please advise the term of the contract(s) (from when to when) and how long the
Vaccination Centres had a physical presence at each of those terminals.
Response
I apologise for the delay in providing our response. The time taken is not what we aspire to. This is
something we are working to get on top of as we deal with a high volume of requests and the
understandably high public interest in our work.
For the sake of clarity, I wil address each question in turn.
Please advise what entity had the contract or contracts for the Covid 19 Vaccination
Centres that were located at Bledisloe and Fergusson Port of Auckland terminals.
We have interpreted your request as seeking the name of the entity that created the contract and
the name of the agency to whom the contract was awarded for vaccination services.
Health NZ has records of three contracts for Covid-19 Vaccination Services at Fergusson Wharf.
There was one contract between Waitemata DHB and Shorecare Medical Services Limited, and
two contracts between Auckland DHB and Shorecare Medical Services Limited.
Please advise the term of the contract(s) (from when to when) and how long the
Vaccination Centres had a physical presence at each of those terminals.
The Waitemata DHB contract covered the period 15 February 2021 – 18 April 2021.
The Auckland DHB contracts covered the following periods:
• 24 August 2021 – 9 November 2021
• 18 January 2022 – 9 February 2022
I am refusing the part your request asking how long these vaccination services had a physical
presence at each terminal under section 18(g) of the Act, as the information you have requested is
not held by Health NZ and we have no grounds to believe that the information is held by another
entity subject to the Act.
Again, my apologies for the delay in providing this response. I hope the information is useful to
you.
