COVID-19 vaccine prioritisation for people with disabilities

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: For many people around the world, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout has brought unprecedented hope. For people with disabilities, vaccine prioritisation schemes are the latest aspect of the pandemic response to raise concerns.1 In the USA, for example, each state and territory has adopted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines differently.2 As a result, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout is uneven and has perpetuated inequities in the pandemic response.
