Description

The authors aim to identify system-level and individual-level barriers to equitable care for First Nations, Inuit and Metis populations in Manitoba in relation to diagnostic and therapeutic health care. They do this by using linked administrative health data on COVID-19 diagnostic testing and vaccinations and monitoring trends in testing and vaccination over time, mapping the geographic distribution of these outcomes by health region and tribal council, and identifying barriers to testing and vaccination for these populations.
