VACCINE PURCHASING & APPROVALS The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine received Medsafe approval. It has been shown to be about 95% effective at preventing symptomatic infection. Four shipments have arrived in NZ, with weekly deliveries planned. Vaccinations commenced on 20 Feb with high-priority border and Managed Isolation and Quarantine (MIQ) workers, and their household contacts being vaccinated. 18,000 NZers have now received their first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Total Pfizer order now 10 million doses. The original agreement was for 1.5 million doses. An advance purchase agreement has now been been signed by Government for additional 8.5 million doses. Enough for 5 million people to get two shots needed to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Every New Zealander has access to same vaccine. Remaining 8.5 million doses of vaccine are expected to arrive in NZ during the second half of 2021. 5

The key point of difference to current state is on the physical good and storage and distribution of the Covid vaccine. As we ramp up the number of vaccinations taking place, the mode for customers being communicated to and booking into getting a vaccine will change.
DISTRIBUTION Once a dose of the vaccine is warmed above -70 degrees, it expires in five days. Once removed from fridge it must be mixed within two hours, then used within six hours. Ensuring we have people on hand to be vaccinated is important – which is not always easy coordinating the many agencies and employers. The large box is what is delivered to vaccine providers. The smaller boxes contain the vaccine vials which will need to be stored in usual cold chain. The boxes will come with 5, 15 or 195 vials. 7
WORKFORCE Planning for extra 2,000 – 3,000 full-time (or equivalent) vaccinators to be trained and available. Registrations via Surge Workforce database. At 11 Mar, 4,928 people registered. Partnered with IMAC to deliver education, training and support for COVID-19 vaccinators. Training commenced 10 Feb. As of 11 Mar, 989 vaccinators had completed training. Training is currently available to nurses and pharmacists to do generic vaccinator training – required before commencing the COVID-19 Vaccinator Education Course (Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine training and CIR training) Training will be opened to primary and community care workforce in next few weeks. 8
WORKFORCE CAPACITY How many vaccinators do we need? • 650 FTE by early April 2021 • 1,800 June • 2,000 – 3,000 full-time (or equivalent) August-November 2021 Strategies: Vaccinator workforce – 14,000 people COVID-19 Surge Workforce – individuals who are willing to be vaccinators. This includes retired health professionals or others not currently in the health workforce. DHBs/providers will be able to access this pool as required. Use of other regulated workforce who may be able to vaccinate with little or no change to scope of practice, e.g. paramedics, phlebotomists, anaesthetic technicians. Upskill kaiāwhina to ensure an expanded, diverse and sustainable health 9 workforce
POST EVENT – ROLE IN COVID-19 VACCINE ROLLOUT Monitor, evaluate and report on adverse events, effectiveness and coverage of the CVIP Three sub-pillars of work: ■ Vaccine safety ■ Vaccine effectiveness ■ Population protection Adverse Events Following Immunisation (AEFI) reporting Existing system: Medsafe and Centre for Adverse Reactions Monitoring (CARM) ■ Increased capacity for CVIP, including enhanced reporting mechanisms ■ Reporting through CIR and CARM website Establishment of COVID-19 Vaccine Independent Safety Monitoring Board ■ Panel of experts from clinical medicine, microbiology, epidemiology and biostatistics to support assessment of AEFIs and COVID-19 vaccines ■ Recommendations and advice to CARM, Medsafe, CVIP and Ministry of Health Initial reports received for Pfizer-BioNTech (Comirnaty) have generally described anxiety reactions. We are now starting to get reports of injection site reactions and systemic reactions (reactogenic reactions), these are expected for all vaccines.

COMMUNICATIONS & ENGAGEMENT Integrated approach including; paid advertising, media, stakeholder engagement, events, and development and distribution of collateral to inform New Zealanders about the vaccination programme To date, communications have been channelled directly to those who will be receiving the vaccination in the first stages Within the next week a paid media campaign will start that will inform New Zealanders on the vaccination plan As the vaccine programme rolls-out, the advertising campaign will gain momentum with a focus on encouraging all of Aotearoa to get vaccinated We will be working with a range of agencies to ensure the campaign resonates with different audiences We will be directing people to covid19.govt.nz to find out more info 13
