COVID-19 Vaccination rates in Maningrida community

This graph shows the uptake of the Covid-19 vaccine in Maningrida since around July 2021, when the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine became available to the community.

As a result of significant local campaigning prior to the first vaccination drive, people in Maningrida responded in a very positive way, rolling up their sleeves up to protect their community.

Other marked increases, from 5 August 2021 and 10 January 2022 onwards, mark the dates when 12 to 15 year-olds and 5 to 11 year-olds (respectively) also became eligible for the vaccine.

As at the beginning of April 2022, 87% of those over the age of 16 are double vaccinated and 43% have received their third dose. 69% of those aged 12 to 15 year-old are also double vaccinated and just over half (54%) of 5 to 11 year-olds have received their first dose since January.

Lúrra Festival

10 October 2024

Maningrida celebrated the Lúrra Festival on the 20th – 22nd September 2024. An event that showcases the amazing culture and music of the Top End Arnhem region. The festival kicked off with a bunggul, fashion event, sports, and live bands performance. Our staff participated in this 3-day event: the Men’s Shed team with the spear throwing competition; Maningrida Dance organised a Dance Competition with J-MILLA as the guest judge; Women’s Hub and Menzies team set-up a booth during the Saturday market stalls and services; and the clinic staff as first aid volunteers. Truly, everyone had fun, our staff had a wonderful time, and had the opportunity to immersed into the rich culture of Maningrida. Special thanks to Njamarleya Justice Group for giving us the opportunity to be part of the Lúrra Festival and all Mala’la staff who volunteered. “The Lúrra shows us, like our old people, that having deep law, culture and skill that is full of knowledge, is important for our people and our future. Communication and working together is very important. Its men and women, young and old working and learning together all day and all night. Everyone, including balanda, who come to our community should be learning our culture so we can work together, both ways, with respect.”
