Welcome to Episode 27 of Contain This, brought to you by the Indo-Pacific Centre for Health Security. This week we bring you a special episode on the Covid-19 vaccine rollout in the Pacific Region, brought to you by two podcasts - Contain This, and Vosa, supported by the World Bank in the Pacific and Papua New Guinea. This episode is hosted by regular Vosa host Arieta Rika, and will be published across these two great programs. In this episode, we’ll speak with Will Genia, Australian Rugby Union Player and UNICEF Ambassador, Dr Edith Kariko, World Bank Senior Health Specialist in PNG, and Francyne Jacklick-Wase, Deputy Secretary, Office of Health Planning, Policy Preparedness and Epidemiology in the Ministry of Health and Human Services. Together, we’ll look at what the vaccine means for the Pacific region, and what it means for each of our guests personally. We hope you enjoy the episode.
