Can You Sign This Petition to Help Refugees Get COVID-19 Vaccines?

Often, refugees are some of the most vulnerable people on earth, and the COVID-19 pandemic has left them even more at risk.

As vaccines start to roll out all over the world, refugees have every right to have equal access to them as much as everyone else does. USA for UNHCR has started a petition to help get more refugees vaccinated so they can continue to protect themselves and their family.

UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi says, “Global and equitable access is what will ultimately protect lives and stem the pandemic.” USA for UNHCR goes on to explain that, “as caring Americans, it is our moral obligation — as well as a public health and economic imperative — to ensure that refugees and forcibly displaced people have equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines and other preventative measures.”

If you can, please click here to sign the petition to stand with refugees and their human right to have access to the COVID-19 vaccines.

Thank you so much, friends!!!
