I’m blown away. This petition has grown to more than 65,000 signatures. That’s more than 65,000 Canadians who believe that every child in our country deserves equal, fair medical care. 

Winter is setting in and with it will come more cases of RSV. Sadly, this means Inuit babies are particularly at risk. They will experience far higher rates of hospitalization from complications — sometimes fatal. Intensive care units will soon fill up with very young Inuit babies on life support. It’s especially heartbreaking because this is preventable. 

Let’s fix this. We need your help making our voices louder. Please take a moment to SHARE this petition:
