Airfinity reports on covid19 vaccine safety and effectiveness

Erika Whittome made this Official Information request to Health New Zealand

The request was refused by Health New Zealand.

From: Erika Whittome

Dear Health New Zealand,
I understand you have services from Airfinity because another OIA response says:
"The Public Health Agency has contracted with Airfinity, an international organisation to provide weekly presentations and bi-weekly reports on vaccine effectiveness and
safety. We also conduct media scans on a regular basis, and collate evidence briefs on specific vaccine related topics as requested from Policy, NIP, the Director-General or the Minister. "

Would you kindly share these Airfinity weekly and bi-weekly reports on Covid-19 vaccine effectiveness and safety from 2021 until the present date. Kindly share this information under the Act from the Public Health Agency.

Yours faithfully,
Erika Whittome
