Refugee immunisation calculator wins Clinicians' ChallengeJohn Hawkins/Stuff Southern District Health Board programme leader for vaccine preventable disease Jillian Boniface and public health analyst Leanne Liggett won the Clinicians' Challenge for their proposal to create an online immunisation catch-up calculator for refugees and immigrants. Two Invercargill-based public health staff have won the Clinicians' Challenge with their proposal for an online immunisation catch-up calculator for immigrants and refugees. It was fortuitous that they came across the Clinicians' Challenge, and they realised that their proposal would fit perfectly in the new idea category. The challenge, a joint initiative between the Ministry of Health and Health Informatics New Zealand, received 41 entries across two categories this year. We went to Rotorua last week, presented, and won," Boniface said.
