Healthier lives ahead for South Pacific children 
Rotary International showcases major vaccination program initiated at Rotary Sydney. Rotary Give Every Child a Future (RGCAF) has been supported across Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands & beyond. RGCAF is the largest joint Rotary/UNICEF programme since Polio plus.

Girl

We are vaccinating adolescent girls against the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) to prevent cervical cancer in later life.
 
“It’s hard to transport vaccines to the outer islands because of the distance and transport availability. Sometimes they have to wait one to three months to get a boat across,” says Rufina Tutai, who oversees immunizations for the Cook Islands. The 15 islands in her jurisdiction are spread over nearly 2 million square kilometers (770,000 square miles).
