1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: You're listening to mix one oh four point nine's three sixty. Now, 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: my next guest this morning has been such an amazing advocate. 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: I think you'd have to say in terms of Manager 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: Cocklebe and making sure that we get our kids vaccinated 5 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: if we're in a situation where we're able to, and 6 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 1: really pushing for the government to try to ensure that 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:26,600 Speaker 1: all children are vaccinated against this terrible illness. Now, in 8 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, Sally lost her beautiful daughter Skyler two Menainger 9 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: Cocklebe and since then she's created Sherichino with Skyler and 10 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: done some amazing advocacy work in this space. And she 11 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: joins me in the studio right now. Good morning, Sally, 12 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: Mony Katie. Lovely to have you in the studio. Now. 13 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 1: I know that this announcement was made by the Northern 14 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: Territory government last week. Thousands of young Territorians are going 15 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: to be vaccinated against Menager cockleb for free. It's part 16 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: of a study which is being undertaken in the territory 17 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: for the first time. It's a step in the right direction, 18 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: isn't Ash. Definitely you must be feeling I mean, like 19 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: I said in the opener, You've done so much work 20 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: since the loss of your beautiful little girl to really 21 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: advocate for territorians and advocate for this vaccine. You know, 22 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: I guess this is just a trial, but does it 23 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: sort of show you that hopefully there's going to be 24 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: more habit. 25 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully, Caddie, Like obviously, this is a great big 26 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 2: step in the right direction for minintacockle bee and hopefully 27 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 2: with this trial with the vaccine, hopefully going to be 28 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 2: able to prevent to diseases as well, like minintacockle bee 29 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 2: and gonorrhea. If they can get the right positive result 30 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:48,279 Speaker 2: at the end, potentially it can be positive locally and globally. 31 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, which would be just phenomenal. I think what we 32 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: all want to do is make sure that you know 33 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: that our kids are safe. If we can help to 34 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: prevent any kind of illness, that's what we want to 35 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: try to do here. What was your action when you 36 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: found out about this, about this study which is going 37 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: to be undertaken. 38 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: It was a great relief really to see that it's 39 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 2: still out there, like it's still being talked about and 40 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 2: spoken about, and that this trial is coming to the territory, 41 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 2: that the schools will roll it out for all the 42 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 2: teenagers to be a part of and hopefully the end 43 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: goal will be positive to be able to see it 44 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,399 Speaker 2: rolled out into the national humanization program. 45 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, so from your understanding, how are they going to 46 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: do the study? 47 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 2: So I think they will in I think they've got 48 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 2: a school's program that they will roll out. Yeah, and 49 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 2: then they will do the first visit. They will swab 50 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 2: the kids first, and then they'll do the Beck zero 51 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 2: maninticoc will be vaccine with the one dose, and then 52 00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: they'll come back in two months and do the second vaccine, 53 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: and then twelve months later they will do a second swamp. 54 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: Right, And so I mean, I suppose some parents listening 55 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: will be thinking, oh, you know, I wish it was 56 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: all kids, not just those age between fourteen and nineteen. 57 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: But like you said, if it's sort of that step 58 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: that maybe you know, means that it does then end 59 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: up being rolled out everywhere all around the world, it 60 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,839 Speaker 1: would be a wonderful thing. And you've sort of got 61 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: to start somewhere, don't you. 62 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 2: Yes, most definitely obviously with that age bracket, those teenagers 63 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 2: adolescents are quite high with actually carrying the bacteria. Yeah, 64 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 2: because I've had a few questions like why is it 65 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 2: only at that age? Yeah, not and not the younger children. 66 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and so why is that because it is more 67 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: common in the teenagers. 68 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, just to carry the actual bacteria in their throat 69 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: that don't necessarily show signs or symptoms of the disease, 70 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 2: but they just carry it. 71 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. And we've spoken about this before as well, because 72 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,119 Speaker 1: I know that a lot. For me after hearing your 73 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: family's story, I went and got my kids vaccinated. And 74 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: I know that it's a very like it can be 75 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: quite an expensive thing for people to do. But if 76 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: you're in a position where you're able to do it, 77 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: I would encourage them to do it. But it can 78 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: be quite expensive. So if it is a situation where 79 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: it's able to be rolled out more broadly, it's going 80 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: to make it more accessible to everybody. Yeah, most definitely. 81 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: Like, but hopefully being able to prevent those two diseases 82 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 2: will hopefully, in the long run, reduce the cost of 83 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: the vaccination, where hopefully the government will be able to 84 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 2: look at that and assess that. 85 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: Yep. And I know that you do so much in 86 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: the community over the years. You most certainly have and 87 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: I always say to you, you know, I think you're 88 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: an amazing woman what you and your little family have 89 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: done since the loss of your little Skylar and creating 90 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: Shareachino with Skyler have You've probably not been able to 91 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: do much over the last year with COVID, but will 92 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: you get back into it your recond. 93 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 2: Hopefully this year we'll hopefully see to have another event 94 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 2: hopefully and get out in the community. 95 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, still continue. 96 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 2: Obviously Ninjakocle will be unfortunately part of our life forever. 97 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 2: So yeah, we'll get it back out there in the 98 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 2: community and continue to raise awareness of this disease. 99 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: I think it's great the work that you do.
