Future of Covid from Bangladeshi & other minority communities public meeting a success! (recorded)

What a lovely group of passionate people attended the 7th Zoom public meeting organised by BritBanglaCovid, since beginning of the pandemic, on 9th January at 3pm when we could easily have left everything for a day of sunshine!

As usual, we covered Covid-19 in a very intelligent way and for which I am so grateful to my panelists: Professor Patrick Vernon OBE FrHistS, Rokhsana Fiaz (Mayor of Newham) Chris Tang, Rachel Blake, Shirina Ali and others. We have covered from health, community, local authority, and most importantly, from the perspective of structural inequality that had already existed in our community when it comes to the question of Bangladeshis and other minority communities in London.

It was such a pleasure to hear from everyone. There would not have been BritBanglaCovid

without your support and belief in BritBanglaCovid!

Thank you for being part of BritBanglaCovid world!

‘'Bangladeshi group was the only ethnic group...the highest vaccine uptake at 91.7%.'’ This is according to the British government's Covid Disparities Report published on 3 December 2021.
