Donate today to support women in science at Burnet and their work to unlock the vaginal microbiome and reduce risk of HIV infection and preterm birth for women around the world.
Improving the health of vulnerable communities and changing lives is at the heart of what we do and who we are.
Rates of COVID-19 vaccination in West Sepik, Papua New Guinea are very low with community surveys showing high levels of distrust and misinformation about the vaccines preventing many in the community from getting vaccinated.
This project seeks to improve community vaccination rates by educating trusted community leaders on the safety, efficacy and importance of the COVID-19 vaccine and supplements the active vaccination program already underway in partnership with the West Sepik PHA.
