Vaccination Watch for Pacific Kids: A new WHO–UNICEF report says most Pacific countries are still missing the 90% target for fully vaccinating children against preventable diseases, with Niue the standout at 100% coverage on its national immunisation schedule (Tuvalu follows at 93%). The report also flags gaps by vaccine type—for example, Palau hit the 90% goal for 10 vaccine types but only reached 75% for the final measles dose, meaning many children were only partially protected in 2025. Citizenship Testing, Not Online: New Zealand’s planned citizenship test won’t be delivered online after internal documents raised concerns about cheating and test integrity, with officials moving to an in-person exam and setting a separate fee for each attempt. The test is expected to roll out in the second half of 2027 for most applicants, with a pass mark of 15 out of 20 multiple-choice questions. Health & Weather Link: Communities across the Marianas and Micronesia are preparing for extreme weather as El Niño strengthens, with forecasts warning of warmer ocean conditions that can intensify storms and shift cyclone patterns—raising risks for health and access to care during severe events.
