Kia ora koutou The University of Auckland has setup this survey and has asked for it to be shared with healthcare professionals who vaccinate babies and children. The survey is designed to understand the changing barriers, challenges, and facilitators to vaccine uptake in pēpi and tamariki according to the front-line vaccinator workforce in NZ. We are also wanting to understand what support vaccinators need to work effectively with whānau to support immunisation uptake. To take part in the survey, you must be a healthcare professional involved in vaccinating babies and children. Participants will go into the draw to win one of five $50 vouchers.
