A Call to Make All Covid-19 Vaccine Information Accessible

Breaking news over the last week points to Covid vaccines getting much closer to the safety and effectiveness standards they'd need to meet.

Please join us in our request to everyone responsible for important health information to make sure it is accessible to all. Individuals with disabilities have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic, and we need to make sure that trend doesn't continue by way of exclusionary and discriminatory content related to vaccines or anything else.

The Microsoft Enabler Program is aimed at removing barriers in Asia-Pacific workplaces, with a simple takeaway: more diversity means a significantly deeper talent pool, which leads to economic growth.

"Inclusive organizations outperform their peers and attract and keep top talent, and we have seen how inclusion drives innovation," said Vivek Puthucode, Chief Partner Officer.

Some are estimating that disability-inclusive employment could lead to GDP growth up to 7% through the regions.
