Really good, happily very busy again today, which is amazing. 21 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 3: It really is. 22 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 2: Jessica, tell us what day did the vaccine rollout start 23 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 2: and talk us through those numbers each day. 24 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: Certainly so obviously with the lockdown in dah when we 25 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: had to put on cause what was meant to roll 26 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: out Monday through Thursday. Fortunately we managed to secure the 27 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: team for Saturday through till Tuesday. We came through in 28 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: on Saturday and we started our rollout Saturday morning and 29 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: continued Sunday and then again today. 30 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: And so on on each day. How many people have 31 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: have been vaccinated? 32 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: Well, there was surprisingly really high numbers. So on Saturday 33 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: we had a bit of a blow start, just being 34 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: that it was the weekend and we weren't through. We 35 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: were our plans from the week before loving to translate 36 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: into theeking. We managed to get two hundred and ninety 37 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: eight I think it was on the stat today, and 38 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: then I thought, right, we had a target to beat. 39 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: I think the highest vaccination one day at a clinic 40 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: at that point was three hundred and ninety or four 41 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety two, I think it was. So by 42 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: close of business yesterday we managed for five hundred and 43 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: fifty three vaccinations. 44 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 3: Oh that's so great. 45 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: It's amazing. 46 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys must be pumped that you've you know, 47 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 2: that you've managed to vaccinate so many, so many locals 48 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 2: out in Maningreda are over that over that two day period. 49 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 2: But I know it's been a lot of hard work 50 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 2: in the lead up as well, hasn't it, Jessica. 51 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: Absolutely, And I don't think any of this success would 52 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: happen without all of you know, the pre work and 53 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: the days themselves. It's just been so heartening to see 54 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: the community spirit going in. You know, a lot of 55 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: the other organizations in Maningreda donated time and resources and 56 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: you know, did to very long nine hour days over 57 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: the weekend manning barbecues and driving buses around and you know, 58 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: talking to people and bringing people in. So plus all 59 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: of the groundwork beforehand of people just having conversations throughout 60 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: the community and addressing concerns as they came up, and 61 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: you know the importance of having that mass coverage. So 62 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: it's been a real testament to man and greet as 63 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: a community spirit. 64 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 2: I think, how many people are you still hoping to 65 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 2: get vaccinated? Sort of over the next couple of days, 66 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 2: because is it the case that you want really the 67 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: whole community or all of the adults in the community vaccinated. 68 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: Absolutely, I mean, you always set the bar as high 69 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: as you can. I think when I had a look 70 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: at the eligible population yesterday, we were sitting over the 71 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: two days with around about forty five percent of the 72 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: eligible population vaccinated in those two days, which is just phenomenal. 73 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: And string into that that it's school holidays, that there 74 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: was a bit of a stop start, that its drive season, 75 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of movement in and out of 76 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: community with neighboring outstations and communities. I think numbers are 77 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: looking really good, hopefully, you know, I mean ideally you 78 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: would have ninety or above. I think realistically, if we 79 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: could get above seventy percent of the eligible population vaccinated 80 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: in the first round, then we're doing really really well. 81 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 2: Jessica, why do you reckon it is that man and 82 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: Greta has had such a you know, such a high 83 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 2: rate of locals wanting to get vaccinated comparatively to some 84 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: of the other communities. Do you reckon it's because the 85 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: leaders in the community have been really positive about getting 86 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 2: the vaccine. Yeah. 87 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: Absolutely, A big thing called you know Malala in the 88 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: community was you know, those communications between the different leaders 89 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: in the community and making sure that everyone was really 90 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: aware of what the plan was going to be, you know, 91 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: COVID of a virus, the fives of vaccine and what 92 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: to expect, and you know, drawing on the support from 93 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: top end health as a delivery mode as well. We 94 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: put a lot of effort into a campaign advertising you 95 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: know that the role. You know there was going to 96 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: be a vaccination hub. Well, I just addressing people's individual 97 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: concerns in the community, meeting with the community leaders and 98 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: the heads of agency over and over again for the 99 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: months leading up to the rollout. I think that I'd 100 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: have to say that would definitely have said into the 101 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: success of the days themselves. 102 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, has there been much in the way of that 103 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 2: vaccine hesitancy out in Man and Greater? 104 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: I think, like any population, it's more people you always hear. 105 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: I guess you call it the negative stories or the hesitancy, 106 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: because people that are already happy and convinced aren't likely 107 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: to come up and tell you that story. So we 108 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,559 Speaker 1: really went from the angle of making sure that we 109 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: were available in the clinic but also out and about 110 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: in the community, using different methods like setting up stores 111 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: at the shops, and we had a big screen that 112 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: was driving around from Camp to camp with little videos 113 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: sort of addressing you know, what to expect when getting 114 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: the vaccine. But I don't think I've felt that there's 115 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: a lot more vaccine hesitancy here. I think that people 116 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: were understandably a bit hesitant after astrosenica age groups kept 117 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: getting changed. So FISA has definitely been on our side 118 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: because we can very emphatically say to people that it's 119 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: a different vaccine as the one that's been getting some 120 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: of the less favorable. 121 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 2: Press, and so Jessica, just to just to you know, 122 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 2: to clarify. So yesterday, five hundred and fifty three vaccines 123 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 2: in one clinic in one day. 124 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 3: So that was a record, wasn't it. 125 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: Absolutely we knew we were aiming for four hundred and 126 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: not so how that was going to roll out. But 127 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the lady everyone down there just 128 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: worked so hard, wirelessly. We've got five vaccinators and the 129 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: you know, all the internet problems and everything that goes 130 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: with it. So by the end of the day everyone 131 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: was writing a high that's a phenomenal number to achieve 132 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: in one day. O. 133 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 3: Good on you guys, Jessica. 134 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: I know that you obviously work with my mum Leslie 135 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 2: and you guys, it's such a tight knit team out 136 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 2: there at Malala and and you've all been working incredibly 137 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 2: hard to make this happen. So good on you all, 138 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 2: and well done to the whole community of Man and 139 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 2: Greta on getting out there and getting vaccinated. 140 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you very much. Hopefully we can keep it 141 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: up the next couple of days. 142 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully you get you know, I get to the 143 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 2: volume that you're that you're hoping for. 144 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 3: Jessica, thank you for your time. 145 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: Today, not a problem, Thank you. 146 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 3: Thanks. 147 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 2: That is Jessica Gatty there and she is the Primary 148 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 2: Health services of the manager of Primary Health Services at 149 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: Malala Health Center. And yes, so five hundred and fifty 150 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 2: three vaccinations in one clinic in one day. That was 151 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 2: a record for them out there in Madagrita. And we've 152 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 2: you know, I guess we've spoken a latch over the 153 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 2: last couple of months about some of that vaccine hesitancy 154 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 2: in some of the communities. It's something that hopefully we're 155 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 2: going to see less of. And I think that after 156 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 2: that lockdown last week, it's probably prompted people, whether you're 157 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 2: in a community or whether you're here in Darwin. If 158 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 2: you know, if you're maybe borderline about whether you're going 159 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: to get the vaccine or not, I know it's probably 160 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 2: meant that some of you have decided to go and 161 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: get it. I understand that there is still that hesitancy 162 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 2: from others, and I get that as well. 163 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 3: You know, I get it
