Call for vaccine equity for all frontline workers World Physiotherapy, as part of the World Health Professions Alliance (WHPA), is calling for early access to COVID-19 vaccines for frontline workers, including physiotherapists. In a press release, WHPA members stress early access to vaccines is critical to ensure the health and safety of the global health profession workforce, protecting not only them but also their patients, families, communities, and the broader health of countries/territories. World Physiotherapy supports the World Health Organization’s Vaccine Equity Declaration, which encourages countries/territories to ensure that access to immunisation is determined by need, rather than wealth or geographic location.  The WHPA  brings together the global organisations representing the world’s dentists, nurses, pharmacists, physical therapists and physicians and speaks for more than 41 million health care professionals worldwide in over 130 countries.
