Our Impact So Far

  • Therapuetic Goods Administration and National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance experts have partnered to provide joint advice to officials on the benefits and risks of using the AstraZeneca vaccine.
  • Through our support, Samoa is using their Australian-developed immunisation register to monitor vaccination rates in different districts to better target  outreach and communication activities.
  • Recruitment is underway for a specialist in waste management in health facilities.
