Question 2: What does Julia’s exclusion from the meeting say about the attitude towards vulnerable populations at the administrative level?

Question 8: In light of Julia’s message, how would you begin to identify systemic barriers that limit the inclusion of vulnerable populations in planning for a pandemic?
