Dear,
Thank you for your information request, dated 15th November, where you asked for:
I asked for a report from the beginning of the vaccine program in Gibraltar to the 13.10.21
Additionally could we please run a full report from the start of the vaccine program to today’s date for all severe adverse reactions that have been reported for the covid vaccine program in Gibraltar.
I can confirm that the MHRA does hold some of the information that you have requested. However, we have also determined that the information is exempt under Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act and we cannot process your request any further.
Section 12 of the Act allows public authorities to refuse requests where the cost of dealing with them would exceed the appropriate limit, which for central government is set at £600. This represents the estimated cost of one person spending 24 working hours in determining whether the department holds the information, locating, retrieving and extracting the information.
Please note that substantially similar requests made within 60 working days of an original request can be aggregated into one for the purposes of calculating a cost limit, meaning that section 12 could still apply. This request has been deemed as substantially similar to your previous requests.
If you disagree with how we have interpreted the Freedom of Information Act 2000 with regards to your request, you can ask for the decision to be reviewed. The review would be carried out by a senior member of the Agency who was not involved with the original decision.
If you have a query about the information provided, please reply to this email.
Yours sincerely,
MHRA Customer Service Centre
