Procurement Purchaser Agreement for COVID-19 Vaccine
Dear Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau Financial Services Branch,
On 17 August 2023, the Pretoria High Court ruled in the Health Justice Initiative's favor in the bid to compel the South African National Department of Health to provide access to all COVID-19 vaccine procurement contracts and other documents.
The Manufacturing and Supply Agreement between Pfizer and Laboratories Proprietary Limited and the Government of the Republic of South Africa Acting Through The National Department of Health of South Africa ("NDOH"), signed on 01 April 2023, has been released: https://healthjusticeinitiative.org.za/w...
In the Agreement, Under Purchaser Acknowledgement 5.5 Purchaser Acknowledgement, it states:
"Purchaser acknowledges that the Vaccine and materials related to the Vaccine, and their components and constituent materials are being rapidly developed due to the emergency circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic and will continue to be studied after provision of the Vaccine to Purchaser under this Agreement. Purchaser further acknowledges that the long-term effects and efficacy of the Vaccine are not currently known and that there may be adverse effects of the Vaccine that are not currently known. Further, to the extent applicable, Purchaser acknowledges that the Product shall not be serialized."
Please advise the context of the Purchaser Acknowledgement for the following COVID-19 vaccine in Hong Kong:
Product Name: COMIRNATY DISPERSION FOR INJECTION COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE (NUCLEOSIDE MODIFIED) 30 MICROGRAMS/DOSE
