Access to Vaccination and Economic Justice

Across the globe, over two billion people are engaged in informal labour.
Informal workers continue to face an accumulation of vulnerabilities
which have been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic—the precarious nature of their work,
the often unsafe environment in which they must carry it out,
as well as multiple systemic failures in providing them with adequate social protection
to guard against disease and financial insecurity.
Access to COVID-19 vaccination for informal workers to address these vulnerabilities
more than a year after the outbreak was declared a pandemic,
is therefore undoubtedly an issue of economic justice.
