Europe’s hard-to-reach groups (such as the homeless, migrant and prison populations) have disproportionately borne the negative health, economic, and social impacts of COVID-19 due to the geographical and socioeconomic inequalities they experience.
This means that they are crucial priority groups for vaccination. Ensuring equitable vaccine access requires coordinated strategies, so what strategies have countries put in place to ensure coverage of hard-to-reach populations? Who are
the key stakeholders? How can experiences with COVID-19 vaccination inform future strategies to improve access to the health system and better meet the health needs of marginalized people? Join us in this webinar to find out!
