Statement on COVID-19 Vaccine Access for Disabled People by Dignity Denied and BCEdAccess
We understand that decisions about vaccine priority are being made, in part, based on input from advisory groups and disability organizations.

In addition, we are concerned that the quality of data that is available and being used to support these recommendations is of poor quality, and may in fact be of little value.
