Kia ora John,
 
Thank you for your email.
 
We have interpreted your question below as enquiring about the financial
impact on Pharmac of disclosing the advanced purchase agreement for
COVID-19 vaccines between Pfizer and the Crown. 
 
If that interpretation is correct, the information you are seeking is not
quantifiable and therefore does not exist.  As such, we are refusing your
request under s 18(e) of the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA), for the
reason that the information does not exist. 
 
We trust this answers your query.   Please note, you have the right to
make a complaint to the Ombudsman about our response to your OIA, under
section 28(3) of the OIA. Details of [1]how to make a complaint are on the
Ombudsman’s website.
