DHS Statement on Equal Access to COVID-19 Vaccines and Vaccine Distribution Sites

DHS and its Federal government partners fully support equal access to the COVID-19 vaccines and vaccine distribution sites for undocumented immigrants. It is a moral and public health imperative to ensure that all individuals residing in the United States have access to the vaccine. DHS encourages all individuals, regardless of immigration status, to receive the COVID-19 vaccine once eligible under local distribution guidelines.

DHS carries out its mission, including all areas within its COVID-19 response, without discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, nationality, or other protected class, and in compliance with law and policy. Further, DHS supports the equitable and efficient distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine to all populations, including historically underserved communities.

To reach underserved and rural communities, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in collaboration with federal partners, will coordinate efforts to establish and support fixed facilities, pop-up or temporary vaccination sites, and mobile vaccination clinics. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection will not conduct enforcement operations at or near vaccine distribution sites or clinics. Consistent with ICE’s long-standing sensitive locations policy, ICE does not and will not carry out enforcement operations at or near health care facilities, such as hospitals, doctors' offices, accredited health clinics, and emergent or urgent care facilities, except in the most extraordinary of circumstances.

DHS is committed to ensuring that every individual who needs a vaccine can get one, regardless of their immigration status.

Asset Management for communities. 2021 UN Online Solutions Dialogues on Infrastructure Asset Management.

 The UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs would like to warmly invite you to attend the

2021 UN Online Solutions Dialogues on Infrastructure Asset Management.

The Online Solutions Dialogues (OSDs) will communicate the basic concepts of infrastructure asset management. They are primarily geared towards central and local government officials involved in asset management on a day-to-day basis. Other stakeholders are invited to attend on a first come and first serve basis. 

The OSDs will have three thematic rounds are: (1) Introduction to Asset Management, (2) Data for Asset Management, and (3) Crisis-Resilient Asset Management, each building on the previous. Individuals who attend all three rounds will receive a certificate of participation. Successful participation and certification will make governments eligible to apply for further UN technical assistance, including through the UNCDF International Municipal Investment Fund. More information about the OSDs, including the link to register in your region, can be found online here: un-assetmanagementworkshops.org

The OSDs will offer participants a lively and collaborative environment in which to learn asset management concepts and apply them to their own local and national contexts. Each two-day workshop will last about 3.5 hours per day and comprise of short live/video lectures, interactive exercises and group discussion. Exercises will be conducted using virtual breakout rooms in Zoom. 

The OSDs will draw on the upcoming UN/DESA-UNCDF publication Managing Infrastructure Assets for Sustainable Development: A Handbook for Local and National Governments, which will be freely available beginning 1 February. Handbook translations into Bangla, French, Nepali, Spanish, Chinese and Swahili are to come.

Existing tools that have been piloted in Bangladesh, Nepal, Tanzania and Uganda – the Asset Management Diagnostic Tool and Action Plans – are available online. Workshop participants will get a firsthand look at how to implement these simple yet strategic tools for more effective asset management. 

Why ‘Solutions’? Participants will gain insight into what is (and is not) working in neighboring cities or countries so that they might replicate successful models. Insights will be drawn from panels and presentations during the workshop, plus individual/group exercises that encourage reflection and verbal exchange of experiences. The idea is also to share challenges and concerns that require discussion of potential solutions.
