Joint Response to BC’s “Proof of Vaccination” Health Order

September 1, 2021 by DABC

Text reads: Not everyone can access a vaccine card. People who are undocumented and other who are denied MSP. People with low-incomes without government-issued identification. People who use drugs. People who cannot be vaccinated due to complex health conditions. People whose government name is inaccurate. The image contains pink-purple ombre accents. There is a clipart-style drawing of a simplified ID card with checkmarks.

Along with several other organizations, DABC has signed onto a letter to Dr. Bonnie Henry and Minister Adrian Dix, which addresses the fact that some people will face legitimate barriers to accessing a vaccine card.
