Dear Pharmaceutical Management Agency,
NZ bought 18 million doses of Comirnaty, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in 2021 and then more doses were bought in 2025.

Despite requests for the purchaser's contract under the Official Information Act 1982, it has been withheld.

Please provide information on the "warranty" section for the purchaser contract(s) for Comirnaty, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA vaccine and confirm any the wording differences in the NZ contract compared to the Albanian contract which reads as follows:

"Except to the extent set out expressly in this Agreement, all conditions, warranties or other terms which might have effect between the Parties or be implied or incorporated into this Agreement (whether by statute, common law or otherwise) are hereby excluded to the fullest extent permitted by Laws. Without prejudice to the general nature of the previous sentence, unless this Agreement specifically states otherwise and to the maximum extent permitted by Law, Pfizer expressly disclaims any representations or warranties with respect to the Product, including, but not limited to, any representation, warranties or undertaking as to (a) non-infringement of Intellectual Property rights of any third party, (b) that there is no requirement to obtain a license of third party Intellectual Property rights to enable the use or receipt of the Product, (c) merchantability, or (d) fitness for a particular purpose."

Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome
