Ear disease starts in the first few months of life for most Indigenous children. By school entry, 2 out of every 3 Indigenous children in the NT have hearing problems. This proposal is to renew funding of the PneuMum study, which aims to find out whether the protection that a mother gets when she receives a pneumococcal vaccine late in pregnancy or soon after delivery can help to protect her child from getting ear disease.

对于大多数土著儿童来说，耳部疾病始于生命的最初几个月。到入学时，北部地区每3名土著儿童中就有2名有听力问题。这项建议是为了继续资助PneumMum研究，该研究旨在确定母亲在怀孕后期或分娩后不久接种肺炎球菌疫苗时获得的保护是否有助于保护其孩子免受耳部疾病的影响。
