Your request for official information, reference: HNZ89963
Thank you for your email on 4 June 2025, asking Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora for the
following under the Official Information Act 1982 (the OIA):
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.
Response
We note this request has been made to the Ministry of Health previously and was refused
(H2025063953 refers). We would have transferred this request to the Ministry but as it has already
responded to this request, this is not necessary.
How to get in touch
If you have any questions, you can contact us at
[email address].
If you are not happy with this response, you have the right to make a complaint to the
Ombudsman. Information about how to do this is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or
by phoning 0800 802 602.
