Northern Rivers Vaccination Supporters (NRVS) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Northern Rivers Vaccination Supporters (NRVS)
The Northern Rivers Vaccination Supporters (NRVS) is a vaccination advocacy group formed in 2013〔 by community members concerned about extremely low vaccination rates in the Northern Rivers region of the Australian state of New South Wales. The stated goal of the group is to lower the incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases in the region by increasing vaccination rates and raising awareness of the importance of vaccination. Local residents Heidi Robertson and Alison Gaylard are the core administrators of NRVS.〔 In 2014 the group was presented the Thornett Award for the Promotion of Reason at the The Australian Skeptics 30th annual convention. ==Background== The Northern Rivers region of the Australian state of New South Wales is an area with some of the lowest vaccination rates in Australia.〔 As of 2013, the Northern Rivers town of Mullumbimby had the lowest rate of childhood vaccinations in Australia, with under 50% of one, two and five year-old children fully immunised. The Northern Rivers region is an area where it is socially acceptable to refuse vaccination and supporting vaccination can even carry the risk of being ostracised.〔 The NRVS was formed in 2013 by community members concerned about these extremely low vaccination rates.〔〔 An independent and unfunded group, NRVS employs a non-judgemental approach to deliver credible information about vaccines and give the residents of the Northern Rivers confidence to speak out in support of vaccination.〔〔〔 NRVS partly grew out of ''Stop the AVN,'' a group formed to challenge the anti-vaccination lobby group the Australian Vaccination-Skeptics Network, formerly known as the Australian Vaccination Network (AVN).〔 Many of the founding members of the group were spurred into action by first-hand experience of vaccine-preventable diseases. "We have had them, our kids have had them, and we have cared for patients with them. We know only too well the true horrors of how awful these diseases can be".〔 Core administrators of the group are; Alison Gaylard, Heidi Robertson, Debbie Procter, Rachel Heap, Sarah Farrand, Kathy McGrath and Trevor Lowe.〔
