ARA Vaccination Clinic questionnaire - Bhutanese patient

Details

Provenance
This ARA Vaccination Clinic questionnaire was completed by a Bhutanese patient attending the ARA vaccination clinic. Dham chose to go to the ARA clinic because they could use an interpreter who spoke their language. Dham did not need to worry about filling out the form at the ARA clinic and ARA would follow up the vaccination with an SMS and a phone call. Dham notes, she does not speak English so it is easier. An ARA member explained the importance of getting vaccinated which led her to receive the vaccine. Dham had seen many community members infected and thought being vaccinated was the best way to protect themselves.
The form was donated by ARA who is a community based organisation that supports refugees before and after their arrival in Australia. During the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, they developed assistance programs in various languages to help non-English speakers understand the crisis. Their vaccination pop-up clinics have consequently aided families in the CALD community, helping them feel at ease with the vaccination process and providing them with necessary support throughout this time.SignificanceThe History in the Making Project is collecting objects relating to both individual South Australians‚Äô experience of the pandemic and the operation of businesses, charities, and government.
This ARA Vaccination Clinic questionnaire form provides information on why members of the multicultural community attended the ARA clinic to get vaccinated. The ARA pop up clinic is an excellent example of how organisations in South Australia were able to support the community during the pandemic.DescriptionThis is an Australian Refugee Association (ARA) Vaccination Clinic form that provides documentation about why people from the CALD communities chose to go to an ARA clinic instead of their local GP or pharmacy. In the top left of the form it has the ARA logo and the top right has the web address australianrefugee.org in blue. Below this is "Empowering Courageous People" in grey. Underneath the ARA logo in black, bold print is "ARA Vaccination Clinic and History SA", below this is "Bhutanese community" handwritten. A quarter of the way down, written in print is ‚ÄúFirst name: (optional)‚Äù and handwritten next to this is ‚ÄúDham‚Äù. At the bottom of the page is a consent provided box which states the person who has filled out the form gives consent for the History Trust of South Australia to make their responses publicly available, online or in an exhibition.Creator (person) Creator (organisation) Acknowledgement Date of Creation2022Date of Usage05/03/2022Materialpaper
