#Midwifery is essential for the health of families. COVID has highlighted health inequity in Canada. The patriarchal decision to close LU midwifery education program demonstrates society's lack of commitment to culturally safe equitable sexual and reproductive health care #SRHR
Even after the government pledged to prioritize hotspots, only 7.5% of the province’s vaccine doses have been administered in Peel Region, which has 20% of Ontario’s #COVID19 cases.
1.2 million doses sit in freezers.
We lack speed & precision.
This is an unforgivable failure.
Ontario's #COVID19 vaccine rollout:
Eligible: 55 yr old executive, works from home in Kingston
Ineligible: 30 yr old, works in factory with 300 people, takes the bus, lives with extended family in Peel
With 985,732 doses in freezers, this is NEITHER speed NOR precision.
