Vulnerable but overlooked: the Covid-19 vaccine plight of people with disabilities in South Africa

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: At least 12%, and possibly as much as 20%, of South Africa's population experience activity limitations. Limitations include a spectrum of disabilities such as complete or partial immobility, restricted communication, sensory deprivation and psychosocial and neurological complications. And yet there is as yet no urgency to roll out vaccinations to them.
