AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoVaccination Watch: A new WHO-UNICEF report says most Pacific countries are still missing the 90% target for fully vaccinating children, with Tuvalu at 93% overall but only 78% coverage for the final HPV dose for girls—highlighting gaps even where performance looks strong. Climate & Health Risk: El Niño is underway and forecast to intensify, with warmer seas expected to shift storm patterns and push more extreme weather toward the Central Pacific—raising the odds of health disruptions after cyclones and flooding. Tuvalu SDGs & Resilience: Tuvalu’s deputy prime minister told the UN SDG forum that progress to 2030 depends on stronger global action for the most vulnerable, linking health and development directly to climate resilience, sea-level rise, drought, and economic shocks. Pacific Immunization Pressure: The same coverage notes several countries fall short on one or two vaccine types, meaning partial protection still leaves children exposed to preventable disease. Tuvalu in the Spotlight: Tuvalu is also named among the few Pacific states maintaining formal ties with Taiwan, as regional diplomacy continues to ripple into public services and international support pathways.
