Starting Well
Introduction
This year, the focus for the
Starting Well portfolio was
improving the uptake of
immunisations, which was
facilitated with short-term
funding from Te Aka Whai Ora |
Mori Health Authority.
In Tai Tokerau there are
complex challenges around
immunisation, which is
demonstrated in our rate of
immunisation declines which,
at 19% for tamariki reaching 2
years old, is almost three times
the national rate.
Since funding to improve
immunisation uptake ceased, we
have focussed on opportunities
to support and work alongside
several Mori Health Providers.
This has led to the development
and implementation of clinical
referral pathways enabling key
community providers to deliver
care closer to home.
