Kia ora Erika, 

 

Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act), received by the Ministry of Health on 13 May 2025. You requested:

 

"A document called "covid-19-vaccine-what-to-expect-v2.pdf " from your
website says
"Getting a COVID-19 vaccine is an important step you can take to protect
yourself from the effects of the virus.  However, we don’t yet know if it
will stop you from catching and passing on the virus. "

There is a copy of this document from 26 Feb 2021 on web.archive.org here
https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...
 

This document "covid-19-vaccine-what-to-expect-v2.pdf " was removed
sometime after February 2021 from the Ministry of Health's Website.

It is clear the Pfizer Covid 19 vaccine was not tested for a reduction in
disease transmission and "The mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 did not prevent
human-to-human transmission nor prevent COVID-19 infection in the way that
traditional vaccines have been able to do " which is from page 257 of the
4 Dec 2024 report on Covid from the US Whitehouse
https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

Kindly provide the following information:
1. The meeting minutes for when the decision to remove this document
"covid-19-vaccine-what-to-expect-v2.pdf " from the Ministry of Health's
website, eg CVTAG or other was made.
2. Any emails, memos, aide memoirs, reports, correspondence etc  about the
"covid-19-vaccine-what-to-expect-v2.pdf “ document prior to the decision
to remove the document and page from the Ministry of Health's website.”

 

The reference number for your request is H2025066844. As required under
the Act, the Ministry will endeavour to respond to your request no later
than 20 working days after the day your request was received:
