Dear
Thank you for your email.
We have published a lot of information on the MHRA’s assessment of the vaccines on our website, including the Public Assessment Reports (PARs), which contain our assessment of the quality, non-clinical and clinical data submitted to MHRA. Any questions referred to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) based on their assessment of the vaccines will be for EMA to answer and as such we advise that you contact them directly for advice.

If you are unhappy with our decision, you may ask for it to be reviewed. That review will be undertaken by a senior member of the Agency who has not previously been involved in your request. If you wish to pursue that option please email: info@mhra.gov.uk
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation, we are not able to accept delivery of any documents or correspondence by post or courier to any of our offices.
After that, if you remain dissatisfied, you may write to the Information Commissioner at; The Information Commissioner’s Office Wycliffe House Water Lane Wilmslow Cheshire SK9 5AF. They will make a decision on whether or not we have interpreted the FOIA correctly in handling your request.
Yours sincerely
