We have joined the Vaccines for All Campaign along with over 300 organisations asking for the Department of Health and Social Care to ensure everyone can access the coronavirus vaccine, regardless of immigration status, ID or proof of address. In order to address the coronavirus pandemic and strengthen public health efforts, the coronavirus vaccine must be safely accessible to everyone. Without further action, the pandemic will continue to have a disproportionate impact on all marginalised groups, including migrant communities, people experiencing or at-risk of homelessness, and BME communities.
