23.01.2022 Do you provide immunisations? Do you transport vaccinations or receive them in your workplace? Do you work in rural or remote settings? Vaccines are one of the most significant public health interventions. They have saved many lives and prevented much suffering. Central Australian Rural Practitioners Association have made a training video and we would like your feedback. This is the link to the survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KVPXJZ2... Please view the video (7 minutes) and then complete the 13 questions which take less than 3 minutes to answer. This evaluation has ethics approval from the Northern Territory Department of Health and Menzies School of Health Research HREC 2020-3807.
