Your request for official information, reference: HNZ00101394
Thank you for your email on 16 October 2025, asking Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora for the
following under the Official Information Act 1982 (the OIA):
I am requesting the information on interactions with other vaccines for the Covid-19 Pfizer
Comirnaty vaccine .
Deborah Kay-Corkin, Southern DHB’s Measles Campaign Coordinator said on page 31
“There are no additional safety concerns with having additional MMR doses, and
you can also safely have your MMR vaccine at the same time as your COVID-19
vaccine,”
on info supplied to Radio New Zealand
Kindly share this information, because I can only locate the Medsafe Risk Management
plan which says "missing information Interaction with other vaccines "
Response
The overview of the Comirnaty vacci
ne on the Immunisation Advisory Centre advises that all
National Immunisation Schedule vaccines can be given at the same time as the Comirnaty
vaccine
: Comirnaty 30mcg JN.1 grey cap - Immunisation Advisory Centre. As this information is
publicly available, your request is refused under section 18(d) of the OIA.
The MedSafe website about vaccine safety may also be of interest to y
ou: How Does Medsafe
Monitor Vaccine Safety.
