all adults in monch tourists will be able to receive shots at the airports from june. welcome i've been physical and kids from the age of 12 canal get their shots in alaska and right across the u.s. but it's alaska in particular one of the remotest places on earth which is showing the rest of the world how to fight off a pandemic. final preparations for a flight near the arctic circle in alaska kimberley and has with her 50 shots of the modena vaccine she hopes they'll bring an end to the pandemic which is hit. hard. one person gets it here that's you know that's 5 percent of the population almost so that one household pretty much can cause for the whole village to shut down that means nobody hauling water nobody hauling fuel nobody you know you're not leaving your house to go get stuff that you need ok it's going to take this don't do it doesn't buy its remoteness
4:46 pm
a lot has ruled out called in 1000 back seems faster than any other state in the u.s. today the team of health care professionals will be visiting several indigenous communities in the arctic wilderness. the village of in a tie has no mobile phone coverage no supermarket and no permanent doctor all goods have to be flown in. today's air freight is the call 1000 vaccine. the village of around $200.00 inhabitants has only 2 cars one of them is the ambulance. snowmobiles are the most important means of transport here a quick ride takes the team to the local health care center. inside around 20 villagers awaiting for the shot. and you. know like most of the villagers lawrence roberts belongs to the beach and tribe for many
4:47 pm
years has relied on his strong constitution but in times of a pandemic he wants to play it safe for me. this is pretty important i mean when. you go from the border illegally that you would have to get sick or you know if it will prevent possible ization does get. on his squad lawrence takes us to his home at the edge of a forest. for a year he wasn't allowed to leave the village. the tribal government imposed strict rules to protect the community from the virus. lauren says it's the modern way of life that makes people so vulnerable to cope in 1000 like when we don't have also eye contact and we're always going to disappear so they're traveling with ballparks that they're there and will grab hold should move or
4:48 pm
something that's where we settle down for a month. you know. it's. much healthier lifestyle you know for the. experience. with you know sort of. take off to the next village that may be one of the world's remote places but when it comes to the program alaska is leading the way. they have it is executive director of the association of immunization managers and joins us from the u.s. what's behind alaska's success considering the huge geographical hindrances it's had to overcome. alaska has a lot of experience getting vaccine out to their remote areas one thing they have done with cold it 19 vaccine a stage have really turned their communities together and you know informed and educated about the facts they have gotten the vaccine out to their remote villages
4:49 pm
they've actually gone to order to or in some of these villages getting people vaccinated and they've just done a really cool warton a good job getting the vaccine to everyone that wants to get it how did the u.s. manage to go from $3000000.00 vaccinations administered in the whole month of december 2020 to about $3000000.00 per day just back in april. right well i mean a couple of important things one is that the production and the supply and you know this is the this is seduction the supply of production were kind of up and down in december we didn't have a real steady out of you know doxie doses coming off the the manufacturing plant we have that now supply increased and really we're getting 20 of 30000000 doses of the vaccine out per week to the states so that's made a huge difference and in addition to that the states have done
4:50 pm
a large scale vaccination sites as well as getting it to smaller sites community health centers and retail pharmacies so really getting more supply more steady supply and getting the vaccine out some more availability sites that's been the key at the same time though since the middle of april the number of daily back to nations has been going down to more or less $3000000.00 per day why is that. so we have kind of picked up point where a lot of people who want to be vaccinated have then vaccinated you know 50 percent of people have gotten at least one dose just about and so you know we're really getting to the point now where we need to work harder to get people to assure people to get information to people and we're still there actually eating about 2000000 people per day so that's really good we have about 10 states that have vaccinated over 50 percent of their population but about 10 states for only about
4:51 pm
35 percent of been vaccinated and that's really the difference by region of you know people with regard to their skepticism or you know they're cautious about getting the vaccine so it's let me give it as a little as possible what working hard i mean because you mentioned in alaska going door to door which of course is risky in itself i thought about other states giving out free cannabis free beer. there they were giving out free beer in new jersey you know alaska's sleeves up 1st some are having block parties for vaccination getting ready for tourist season giving vaccine at the airport. you know i think states are just doing anything they can we see businesses giving incentives mostly to their employees krispy kreme is giving free donuts to people who get vaccinated you know really just trying to get everyone involved
4:52 pm
everyone to feel good about getting the vaccine about getting us back to a place where you know we can have fun and be safe and protected from the disease what would you say this is something the rest of the world could could learn from. i mean i do think the rest of the world can learn from from what we've learned here in the united states 1st of all the large vaccine sites getting the vaccine out as as quickly as possible was really successful for us and the more people were seeing other people getting vaccinated the more they felt safe getting vaccinated themselves and also information information is really the key the population right now that says they're hesitant or doesn't want to get vaccinated we see that many of them have not received any vax any information about the vaccine or have only seen negative information about the back seat so getting information out you know
4:53 pm
getting all the information you can about how the vaccine works its value it c. d. its effectiveness doing that ahead of time makes a difference and then high volume logistically quite out of there from the association of immunization managers thank you so much thanks thanks very much for having me. let me put you in the capable hands of my colleagues eric williams now to look at your questions on the corona virus. i've been vaccinated and feel some side effects and i contagious to others. pretty much all of the vaccines approved so far and various parts of the world are fairly reacted generally which means they often cause mild side effects like painting and swelling at the injection side as well as things like like fatigue or headache or fever or chills or aching joints by by some estimates
4:54 pm
about 2 thirds of all recipients reports those sorts of effects soon after having a shot they generally disappear within a day or 2 side effects appear to be more common in women than in men and also seem to happen more often in younger recipients then in the elderly but but side effects aren't caused by live virus replicating in your body because the vaccines in use don't actually contain any live virus instead they employ a number of different tricks to pull your immune system into believing you've copped a virus many vaccine platforms work by delivering genetic instructions into your cells that cause them to build sars kovi to proteins these harmless components teach your defenses to recognize the virus without really exposure to it
4:55 pm
the available chinese vaccines accomplish the same goal by using chemically inactivated or or disabled virus to put the immune system on red alert but but because vaccines don't expose you to live virus they can't give you the disease her . you can't be contagious assuming of course that you didn't catch covert 1000 for real from someone in the days between vaccination and the ramp up of your immune response the sometimes unpleasant vaccine side effects experts say are actually a kind of confirmation that your immune system is reacting as it should. and we leave you with pictures from romania where dracula is taking a bite out of garbage 19 at his mythic home brand castle medics have set up
4:56 pm
