  • Re: Vaccination Priority for Essential Critical Infrastructure Municipal Employees
    January 8, 2021 Honourable Adrian Dix Minister of Health Government of British Columbia Delivered via email Re: Vaccination Priority for Essential Critical Infrastructure Municipal Employees Dear Minister Dix, In early December, the BC government announced they secured a minimal number of initial doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to distribute to those populations identified as the most vulnerable. In the following weeks, the government released a phased approach to administering the vaccine and listed the populations included in each phase. While the City of Nelson acknowledges the extraordinary amount of work the Province has put into developing the distribution process, we would like to request a review of the vaccine distribution priority lists to include essential critical infrastructure employees. The Province’s website outlines the specific groups that will be first and second priority for receiving the vaccine; the list does not include essential service providers such as water, IT, energy and utility workers. This does not appear to align with the recommendations from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization upon which the Province has developed its priorities for the first and second phase of vaccinations. The Committee has indicated municipal workers identified as ‘essential’ should be prioritized to maintain reliable operation of critical infrastructure services and functions. With COVID-19 cases circulating in rural communities, the risk of an outbreak causing the loss of key personnel trained to manage essential service delivery could exacerbate the current public health emergency. This would have a much larger impact in smaller communities, such as ours, as resources and appropriately trained personnel replacements are more challenging to access than in larger centers.
