Disability considerations for COVID-19 vaccination - WHO & UNICEF Policy Brief
Persons with disabilities are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, both directly because of infection, and indirectly because of restrictions to reduce the spread of the virus. Persons with disabilities are a diverse group, and the risks, barriers and impacts faced by them will vary in different contexts according to, among other factors, their age, gender identity, type of disability, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and migration status.
This document presents considerations and actions for stakeholders to ensure equity in access to vaccination against COVID‑19 for persons with disabilities:
