27/6/2021 Vaccinating Undocumented Migrants


As you may know, HCCS have been working in conjunction with the London Chinese Catholic Community UK, the local NHS and Hackney public health to support our ESEA undocumented migrant community. We have helped over 1000 people since April 11, and we recently won funding to vaccinate the additional ESEA undocumented workers that are on our books.


We have become a trusted organisation by undocumented migrants, and they know that we are a safe intermediary between individuals and official organisations. On 27 June, we organised a big vaccination day for undocumented migrants. In the morning, over 270 people that we helped earlier in April and May came to receive their second AstraZeneca jabs.


In the afternoon, we helped over 100 people receive their first Pfizer jabs. As well as vaccines, we were able to offer health checks from a Chinese pharmacist, as well as a GP from Doctors of the World, answering questions on GP registration. In all, we completed 62 health checks. Many undocumented migrants had not been able to get access to any type of medical support since their time in the UK, so they were pleased to be receive this support.


Throughout this, our fantastic Instagram and volunteer community members rallied to give us support. 28 people gave up their time on 27th June to help us. They supported us by translating, stewarding and helping people complete surveys. We would like to thank them all for working so well together and for helping us run this large event so smoothly.


With the survey information, we would have more insight in how we can help this vulnerable part of our community on their health, mental health and practical needs. We will also continue to support our migrant community with second vaccines on Sundays throughout July.


A second vaccine day is being organised for those who received their first Pfizer doses, if you'd like to help out later on August 22, please email us and let us know.


If you would like to get in touch with us about this or speak to us confidentially, please contact Wai Ha Lam on 07761705553, where she will be able to support you if you need to be tested or are showing symptoms of Covid 19, or signpost you to further services.




為無証人士接種疫苗


過去多月,克尼華人社會服務中心與地區醫療服務,公共衛生部及倫敦華人天主教會携手為東南亞無証人士提供援助。自4月至今,我們已協助了超過1000多名無証人士接種疫苗。最近我們更獲額外撥款,協助在我們輪候名單上等待接種疫苗的人士。.


這多個月的努力使他們確認我們是一個值得信任,能為他們在中間協調的組織。在6月27日我們為無証人士舉辦了一個大型的疫苗接種日。在早上,我們為270名人士接種第二劑的牛津疫苗,在下午再為100多名人士接種第一劑的輝瑞疫苗。當日我們更安排了世界醫生組織派代表在場為接種人士解答登記家庭醫生疑問,也邀請了一位華人藥劑師為在場人士提供基本體檢。當日62名無証人士獲得此服務,他們感到很高興,因為他們一般都較難享用英國的醫療保健服務。


今次的活動能得以順利完成,實有賴及多謝28個義工響應我們在各不同媒體的召喚。他們負責當日的翻譯,問卷調查及維持現場秩序。


問卷調查所得的資料會讓我們更瞭解這群隱形社區人士在醫療、精神健康及其他生活上的需要。我們亦將會繼續在七月中多個的週日協助他們接種疫苗。我們更會在8月22日為當日接種輝瑞第一劑的人士接種第二劑。若你能在當日擔當義務工作,請與我們聯絡。


如果您需要任何與冠狀病毒有關的諮詢或保密談話,請致電07761705553與林慧霞女士

聯絡。她能操英語、普通話及廣東話。
