Across Canada, provincial and regional authorities are in the process of finalizing the next stages of their vaccination roll-out plans. These plans must include specific measures to guarantee migrant access to vaccination without fear.
At a minimum, vaccine provision must be free; not require a health card, be accessible, and not be mandatory. No information about migrants must be collected or shared with immigration enforcement.
Migrants & the undocumented are at the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis but many are afraid to access the COVID-19 vaccine. None of us are protected until all of us are. Everyone regardless of immigration status must be guaranteed the COVID-19 vaccine.
Loretto Sisters Canada join the Migrants Rights Network + 270 groups to call on the provinces & feds to ensure safe and dignified access to the vaccine without fear.
