HPV – Immunisation Programme
by WBOP PHO
• HPV immunisation rates remain low, these have been impacted by Covid-19 but historically, low uptake prevails
• Over 10,000 doses are outstanding within the Bay of Plenty – those who missed due to lockdown and programme suspension during the pandemic response.
• Hauora a Toi Bay of Plenty will be working collaboratively with all key stakeholders to plan and deliver a catch-up programme
Vaccinator workforce training
• Thank you to all the GP providers who collaborated with the upskilling of provisional or authorised vaccinators to deliver childhood immunisations.
• This will be an ongoing piece of work and we appreciate your help!
• Approximately 25 vaccinators have been through this upskilling programme. Priority for placements is given to iwi and Māori communitybased vaccine providers.
