When people hear <4% of 🇵🇬 has been vaccinated against #COVID19 I'm so often asked, 'Why can't we just send more vaccines?!'

There are ~80,000 doses of AstraZeneca #CovidVaccine donated to PNG through #COVAX expiring at the end of July. Fewer than 50,000 people vaccinated so far, and more vaccines arriving. Vaccination is open to any adult who wants it #SleevesUp 🇵🇬💪💉

Vaccine roll-outs in South Fly are challenging. Treaty Villages are remote, often only reachable by boat, walking track or chopper. #PNGDF, #YourADF and the AHC, with partners like PATH, @worldvisionpng and @BurnetInstitute are supporting the Western Provincial Health Authority.
