Canberra, March 9 : Australian authorities will begin collecting language and ethnic data from everyone who receives a coronavirus vaccine to better document the migrant communities.
The Department of Health on Monday confirmed that everyone who volunteers to receive a Covid-19 vaccine will be asked where they were born and what language they speak at home, reports Xinhua news agency.
The data will then be used to identify communities where the uptake of vaccines is lowest, allowing the government to channel culturally appropriate information campaigns about the safety and efficacy of vaccines.

For Sadiq Daba, a native of Kano, born in Kumasi, Ghana and raised in Freetown, Sierra-Leone, stardom was more than a dream come true. In the early days, it was radio that enchanted him. And without a single TV station in Sierra-Leone then, what else but being on radio would he have thought of?
“I used to listen to William Roberts on Radio Sierra-Leone,” he recalls, smiling broadly. “He was my role model. Being on-air, for me, became an obsession.” That was in the early 1960s, a time he used to go around with the pop star, Giraldo Pino, who practices just behind their house to dance halls. But it was not till he met Khalifa Baba Ahmed on his return to Nigeria around 1967 that he was able to actualize his childhood dream. And it was by happenstance!
