Justice Centre on Refugees Being Given Access to Vaccination

Media - News - Featured
|
May 26, 2021

In response to media enquiries, Justice Centre Hong Kong provides the following comments:

Granting the refugee and asylum-seeking community access to vaccination is a welcome development in including forced migrants into Hong Kong’s public health response, and will benefit not only this community but the whole of Hong Kong.

Justice Centre looks forward to working with the International Social Service, other NGOs and all stakeholders towards a smooth rollout of the vaccination programme within the refugee community. We also hope to continue to work with the government in addressing other factors that expose the community to greater public health risks, such as substandard, overcrowded and inadequate accommodation that refugees often reside in as a consequence of the meagre monthly housing allowance provided.

就傳媒查詢,Justice Centre 聲明如下:

Justice Centre Hong Kong 表示歡迎香港政府將在港尋求庇護人士及難民納入疫苗接種計劃以及香港整體的抗疫政策。我們認為此舉將不但幫助尋求庇護人士及難民社群抗疫,亦能加強保障香港整體社群的健康。

Justice Centre 期望能與國際服務社、其他非政府組織及所有持份者合作,以確保疫苗接種計劃能夠在尋求庇護人士及難民社群中順利展開。我們亦期望繼續與政府合作,持續解決其他將此社群暴露於更大公共衛生風險的不同問題,例如由於政府租金津貼不足而被迫居住在不適切、過分擠迫、不安全,或基礎設施不足的房屋等。
