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.

Disability Day of Mourning: Online vigils remember those killed by caregivers

  SASKATOON Instead of gathering at in-person vigils across the country, due to the pandemic many in Canada and around the world observed International Disability Day of Mourning online and remembered disabled people who’ve been killed by family and caregivers. Hundreds of people have shared their thoughts and remembrances online using the hashtag DisabilityDayofMourning, including Canadian advocate Kim Sauder, who hosts the blog Crippled Scholar. 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.
