This survey, for current vaccinators involved in vaccinating pepī and tamariki, is being circulated by the Immunisation Advisory Centre (IMAC) on behalf of researchers at the Universities of Auckland and Otago.
They are exploring the main challenges vaccinators may face in their role vaccinating pepī and tamariki in Aotearoa New Zealand, any changing needs in their role in response to the shifting needs of parents and whānau, what they think is currently working well when vaccinating children, and where they might want further education opportunities.
The survey should take up to 10 minutes to complete. Participants can choose to go into the draw to win one of five $50 vouchers.
