It was good but not great. The message is not getting out as well as it should. |
It's a bit disturbing that there is that level of resistance. It suggests there is a need for more publicity, more training, more positive reinforcement. It's an ongoing battle. |
The context for these events is a primary health care system that has suffered from a decrease in resources and is struggling to manage the expectations placed on it. |
The preparation was good and certainly at this stage, there are encourage signs that the first national immunization day was a success. There was good media coverage and good public perception of the need for vaccination. |
The public perception of the importance of vaccination has also diminished. |
We are by no means at the end of this outbreak. While we have done a good job ... there's still more work to be done. |
What we have now is a looming crisis. |
