Subject: Official Information request - Immunisation status and ethnicity
on Monthly notifiable disease surveillance reports

Dear Institute of Environmental Science and Research Limited, I note the
monthly notifiable disease surveillance report used to have ethnicity and
immunization status. For example for measles:
[2]https://web.archive.org/web/201305041156...

And Whooping cough / pertussis
[3]https://web.archive.org/web/201501240838...

Would you kindly share the ethnicity and immunisation status information
on the monthly notifiable disease surveillance report?
If they are no longer published, would you please share the minutes, memos
correspondence, emails etc regarding the decision to remove this
information.

Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome
