Exemptions process - under clause 7A of the vaccinations Order prior to 7 Nov 2021

Erika Whittome made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health

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

From: Erika Whittome

Dear Ministry of Health,

I refer to this webpage https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/dise...
from 22 October 2021:
https://web.archive.org/web/202110221959...

The MoH page says :
"How an exemption is granted
Workers may be exempt from the requirement to be vaccinated if, after examination:

a suitably qualified health practitioner considers that the vaccination is clinically contradicted for the person, and
a suitably qualified health practitioner provides written confirmation of that assessment.

When you can apply for an exemption
The exemption process comes into force on 15 November 2021."

Would you kindly share all the information on this process as it was in October 2021? According to this web page, the MoH says the exemptions process comes into force on 15 November. I am requesting all the information on this process for exemptions at this time in 2021 especially before 7 November 2021, and what processes were starting 15 November 2021.

Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome
