CORONAVIRUS UPDATE

by

Honourable Isabella Dageago, MP

Minister for Health

 

Friday, 1 April 2022

 

In today's update, Minister for Health Isabella Dageago calls for urgency as vaccination slows down across the two age groups, 12-17 year olds and adults.

 

The minister says the number of people getting their vaccine is slowing down and has not met the March targets of vaccination coverage; thus posing a real concern for plans in regards to travellers entering Nauru in April.

 

The minister says the children have reached 97 per cent coverage on their first dose and getting close to 90 per cent for the second dose. But the numbers are slowing down.

 

The adult booster shot has reached 60 per cent coverage but is also slowing down. The minimum requirement is to have 80 per cent of adults fully vaccinated with three shots, but above 95 per cent is ideal.

 

The targeted age groups, 12-17 years, require two doses and the adults require three doses.

 

The kids' age group are mostly teenagers and is a challenge for the public health team to reach. It's just as vital for the children in this group to understand the importance of getting their full course of the vaccine.

 

Parents are urged to bring their children in to get full vaccine coverage.

 

The Minister stresses that the risk of COVID entering Nauru remains high. Weekly passenger flights have never ceased for Nauru and this poses a risk.

 

She adds that Nauru needs to continue vaccination while we still have supplies of the Pfizer vaccine.

 

The minister warns that the numbers of cases in Australia are surging again and highlighted that travellers are arriving every week to Nauru from all over the world.

 

She adds that whilst Nauru maintains the border 'capture & contain' procedures, the chance COVID will arrive on Nauru continues to increase and if it arrives we need to make sure our people have maximum protection - and that is through getting all your doses of the vaccine when they are due

 

The experience all around the world continues to show that whilst vaccinated people may get infected, it is usually mild and short-lived if they are fully vaccinated.

 

However, unvaccinated or those who haven't had their second or third doses when due, are the ones who continue to suffer, end up in the intensive care unit and are far more likely to lose their lives.

 

We can all be protected from COVID if everyone gets all the doses of vaccine needed.
