The Ministerial Vaccine Taskforce visited New Ireland Provincial Health Authority from March 12 – 16 2023 to learn about challenges in managing COVID-19 as well as their successes and experiences. The Taskforce aim is to ensure that 60%-80% of all health facilities with functioning Cold Chain Equipment (CCE) have COVID-19 vaccines by March 2023; And 100% of all health facilities with functioning CCE must have both COVID-19 and routine immunisation vaccines. Starting from March onward, integrating COVID-19 and routine immunisation will be a key focus for the Vaccine Taskforce as it works together with other health authorities and donor partners to normalise the COVID-19 vaccines in Papua New Guinea. Uptake of COVID-19 vaccination is the best way to ensure the protection of one’s health and that of their families.
