Why is getting vaccinated a challenge across the Pacific?
from Sistas, Let's Talk · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Getting vaccinated is a simple step that prevents illnesses like measles, polio-virus and even cervical cancer. But in parts of the Pacific, not everyone is able or willing to access vaccines. Whether it's combating hesitation or limited access, health authorities are working hard to vaccinate as many people in the Pacific for as many preventable diseases as possible. What can women do to support the cause? In Sistas Let’s Talk, ABC Radio Australia's Natasha Meten talks about the life-saving importance of vaccines with Tonga’s chief medical officer for public health Dr Ofa Tukia, Madang town clinic’s nurse in charge Judy Alingou and Sister Litiana Volavola, the national program manager for immunisation in Fiji.
