**SUVA, FIJI (August 9, 2021)**- The rollout of vaccines to protect children against cervical cancer, pneumonia and rotavirus has begun in Samoa, Tonga and Tuvalu.
The deployment of these three vaccines is part of the $29.7 million System Strengthening for Effective Coverage of New Vaccines in the Pacific Project, which is supporting the deployment of these vaccines in Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. Funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the vaccine project was originally set up to support the procurement of rotavirus, pneumococcal conjugate and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines through the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
The project supports ministries of health in immunizing 90,700 children against pneumonia, 71,600 children against rotavirus and 84,200 adolescent girls against HPV infections in the four countries. The project also helps update national immunization and cold chain policies, upgrade cold chain equipment and supply chain logistics, improve immunization reporting systems, and undertake other health system strengthening activities essential for reducing pneumonia, rotavirus. and HPV infections.
“This established vaccine project continues to make good progress, improving overall immunization coverage rates, supporting greater efficiency of primary health services and raising community awareness at a time of critical importance when much of the world is being adversely affected by the coronavirus disease. (COVID-19),’ said regional director of ADB’s Pacific Sub-Regional Office in Fiji Masayuki Tachiiri. “It will also help strengthen the region’s resilience to other infectious diseases in view of the reopening of borders and economies.”
“While the world’s focus is understandably on boosting immunization against COVID-19, we cannot afford to trade one health crisis for another,” said UNICEF Pacific Representative Sheldon Yett. “We thank ADB for its continued and strengthened partnership in the Pacific and for working with UNICEF to protect children and youth from these vaccine-preventable diseases.”
In the Pacific, pneumonia and diarrhea are two of the top three causes of death in children under the age of five, and about a third of all deaths from pneumonia are due to the pneumococcal bacteria, which is usually transmitted through contact with infected children. Rotaviruses are the leading cause of severe diarrhea in children under the age of five.
Cervical cancer has also been reported as one of the top three regional priorities by Pacific leaders, with more than a thousand cases of cervical cancer per year.
The project has also recently received additional funding to support the four countries in introducing COVID-19 vaccines. The project provides an established platform to safely introduce COVID-19 vaccines into the countries, strengthen health systems and raise community awareness.
