Contract for disposal of Covid vaccines

Catherine Jamieson made this Official Information request to Health New Zealand

Currently waiting for a response from Health New Zealand, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).

From: Catherine Jamieson

Dear Health New Zealand,

What are, or have, been the contracted waste disposal company/companies contracted to retrieve and dispose of Covid vaccines that have been distributed to provider sites? If the contract is or has been held by different companies please list and identify what dates or locations the contract applies or applied.

What entity has the contract for doses that were wasted at the DHL or Healthcare Logistics wasted at the warehouse? What is the process when this occurs? Does the process merge with disposal of vaccines that have been distributed to provider sites?

In what region(s) are the secure landfill sites where the vaccine packaging and product are buried?

Yours faithfully,

Catherine Jamieson
