Dear Requester:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for records
regarding:
All data and information for the Pfizer Vaccine enumerated in 21 C.F.R. § 601.51(e) with the exception of publicly
available reports on the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System.
We will respond as soon as possible and may charge you a fee for processing your request. If your informational needs
change, and you no longer need the requested records, please contact us to cancel your request, as charges may be
incurred once processing of your request has begun. For more information on processing fees, please see
http://www.fda.gov/RegulatoryInformation/FOI/FOIAFees/default.htm.
Due to an increase in the number of incoming requests, we may be unable to comply with the twenty-working-day time
limit in this case, as well as the ten additional days provided by the FOIA. The actual processing time will depend on the
complexity of your request and whether sensitive records, voluminous records, extensive search, and/or consultation
with other HHS components or other executive branch agencies are involved. Please note that requests for medical
device approval records (e.g. 510K, PMA, DEN) may take up to 18 to 24 months to process.
If you have any questions about your request, please call Claire B. Stansbury, Information Technician, at (301) 796-
8979 or write to us at:
