Rotary's Pacific Island Vaccination Project
Rotary Give Every Child A Future is Rotary Australia and New Zealand’s centennial project to introduce three vaccines into nine Pacific Island countries. This project celebrates the 100th anniversary, in 2021, of Rotary International in the region. The project has just reached a significant milestone with the approval of nine Global Grants by The Rotary Foundation. These grants, one for each country for the first year of the project, have a combined value of US$1.3 million (NZ$2.1 million).
For three years, Rotary will fund the introduction of rotavirus, pneumococcal and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines for Pacific Island children in Kiribati, the Cook Islands, Tokelau, Niue and Nauru, and support the introduction of these vaccines in Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.
Rotary can now move to the implementation phase of this major public health initiative in the Pacific. Through our collaboration with UNICEF, 100,000 women and children will benefit individually, saving lives and saving families. In addition, the project will significantly strengthen health systems in each of the nine countries, providing a sustainable legacy of improved healthcare.
With commitments from governments to continue funding these vaccine after three years, this project will see children protected from life-threatening diseases, and families protected from the loss of a mother to cervical cancer, for generations to come.
