Developing a fit-for-purpose Covid-19 vaccine programme in Papua New Guinea: A conversation with Mr Api Kassman
Manage episode 341665879 series 2902575
Vaccine hesitancy has been a particular challenge for governments and health teams around the world as COVID-19 vaccines have been rolled out. In Papua New Guinea, a country still seeking to embed a system of routine childhood vaccinations, the rollout presented a challenge for the health workforce.
Our guest this week is Mr Api Kassman, Executive Director of the National Vaccine Task Force in Papua New Guinea. We discuss his involvement in the COVID-19 vaccine rollout in PNG and how the country’s first adult targeted vaccine program was rolled out. Mr Kassman speaks about the need for a shift in strategy to include fit-for-purpose, culturally appropriate interventions.
We encourage you to join the conversation at @CentreHealthSec.
