Petition request

That the House of Representatives urge the Government to publicly release the original contract between Pfizer/BioNTech (Pfizer) and the Government for the supply of the COVID-19 vaccines, along with any subsequent contracts, variations, assignments and/or novation of contract (Pfizer Documents).

Petition reason

Requests for the release of the Pfizer Documents have been refused on the basis that it would unreasonably prejudice the commercial position of Pfizer. On 1 December 2023 Te Whatu Ora acknowledged that four deaths in New Zealand are possibly linked to adverse reactions following COVID-19 vaccination. The Government granted indemnities to Pfizer and as such, I believe the release of the Pfizer Documents is in the public interest.
