For those interested, I asked Ministry of Health - Manatū Hauora about updated covid vaccine access for New Zealand. This is MIH's response.

1. Screencap of two tweets: Violet Blue® @violetblue 19h Any word on when Kiwis can access the new boosters approved and being distributed right now in the US? Ministry of Health - Manatū Hauora @minhealthnz Kia ora, the decision on when and if to seek approval for new Covid-19 vaccine and to supply that vaccine in New Zealand is made by the company. Pfizer has applied and obtained emergency authorisation from the US FDA. At this stage, it has not applied for approval in New Zealand. 8:21 PM · Aug 27, 2024

  Welp.
  In response to my question about vaccine availability for Kiwis, NZ Ministry of Health publicly stated that Pfizer hadn't applied to Medsafe for updated booster approval, but this was not true. Records show Pfizer applied in June.

  1. Screencap: tweet, the NZ Ministry of Health being corrected about covid vaccine application status with a screenshot of the dated application. Text: Ministry of Health - Manatū Hauora @minhealthnz Aug 27 Kia ora, the decision on when and if to seek approval for new Covid-19 vaccine and to supply that vaccine in New Zealand is made by the company. Pfizer has applied and obtained emergency authorisation from the US FDA. At this stage, it has not applied for approval in New Zealand. Living Safely With Covid #CovidIsAirborne @CovidSafeNZ (3 hours ago) This is incorrect. Pfizer applied to Medsafe 28 June 2024 to register its JN.1 COVID vaccine. It is currently undergoing initial evaluation. AFAIK Novavax has not submitted an application for its JN.1 vaccine.

  Adding the chain of Eric Crampton's responses to my questions about NZ vaccine access (Chief Economist at the NZ Initiative). He explains how to apply pressure.
