On February 11, 2021 Jocelyn Formsma, Executive Director of the National Association of Friendship Centres (NAFC), appeared on the First Nations Health Managers Association (FNHMA) Weekly Virtual Town Hall podcast to discuss vaccinations for urban Indigenous people and the advocacy that the NAFC is pursuing to make it happen.
“I should preface this by saying that anything we say that is critical of 1/8the vaccine 3/8 response? is not to be interpreted at the expense of what is happening on-reserve in the North and for First Nations, Inuit, Metis government,” began Formsma.
