Coronavirus: COVID-19 vaccine clinics just for Black, racialized Canadians is 'good public health policy'


 
TORONTO
Even though Black and racialized Canadians face higher rates of COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations, only a few vaccine clinics across the country have been set up specifically for them. Front-line workers say that needs to change to ensure high-risk groups have equitable access to immunization.
Thanks to months of tireless advocacy work, vaccine clinics for Black and racialized people were set up during April and May by public health officials in Hamilton, Ont. Similar temporary clinics are also popping up across Nova Scotia.
“It’s not just equitable, it s actually good public health policy,” Hamilton critical care physician Dr. Abubaker Khalifa told CTVNews.ca in a phone interview, citing the city’s own census and race-based COVID-19 data as the driving factor. ....

She told CTVNews.ca by phone on Monday that this day is when “disabled people all around the world commemorate and mourn disabled people who’ve been murdered.”
This isn’t a condemnation by the way. Creating that video was a month long process of remembrance and mourning. ....

'It's devastating' disabled people not prioritized in vaccine rollout, advocates say


In B.C., for example, those with intellectual disabilities in group homes were among some of the first vaccinated.
“But there’s [no] consideration of those of us living in the community, those of us requiring personal support workers or attendants or other family members to provide care,” Smith, who has severe Anaphylaxis, told CTVNews.ca. “There doesn’t seem to be a clear plan.”
She said that disabled people like her friend, who uses a wheelchair, are at higher risk because of their increased interactions.
“Many of us live with conditions that put us at higher risk of getting COVID or [are] put us at risk because of the number of humans we encounter,” she said, noting that her friend,who uses a wheelchair, doesn’t even leave the house. ....
