Wristbands a Good Vaccination Reminder?
Posted On: November 26, 2009 at 9:01 a.m.
Of all the uses for silicone wristband , I haven’t seen this come up yet. In Australia, the Vanuatu program is giving a trial run to the idea of giving silicone wristbands to women who get their cervical cancer vaccinations. The idea is twofold: the women get a reward for coming and they have a reminder on their wrist to come back and get the follow-up shot. Here’s part of the story:
“An Australian-run programme to help vaccinate Vanuatu women for cervical cancer is trialling the use of coloured wristbands as a reminder for those being vaccinated to come back for follow-up shots.
The Vanuatu Vaccine Program is being driven by the University of Queensland’s Diamantina Institute for Cancer, Immunology and Metabolic Medicine.
Headed by 2006 Australian of the Year, Professor Ian Frazer, the programme is trialling in Vanuatu after learning that young women often don’t return to get second and third cervical cancer vaccine shots” (http://www.rnzi.com/pages/news.php?op=read&id=46137).
I could probably think of a couple dozen reasons how a wristband could help us remember something! What a fantastic idea.
