One of the things within the pandemic and the response tables was how vaccine prioritization was received. There was a great deal of distrust in how things were prioritized, and it was felt that the vaccine was being tested on indigenous bodies to make sure it was safe to give to the white guys. That was how participants put it.
One of the things that we need to take away is how logistic planning tables have to be done in partnership, engaging communities in order to have trust. Locals and communities know better how to reach their citizens and how to implement response measures than if it's just being done from federal-provincial response tables without that local integration.
We need to consider all of the logistics associated with vaccine rollout, as well as public acceptance and updates so that it is not seen within a colonial, distrusting light.
I will stop there.
