2) End all hostile environment measures in the NHS, including charging for migrants, to combat the fear and mistrust these policies have created
3) Provide specific support for all GP surgeries to register everyone including under-documented and undocumented migrants and those without secure accomodation and ensure that all other routes to vaccination are accessible to everyone
4) Fund a public information campaign to ensure that communites impacted by their hostile enviroment are aware of their rights and access to the vaccine.
