Detail from RCCE Collective Service Guidance on COVID-19 Vaccines for Marginalised Populations

Mawasiliano ya Hatari na Mwongozo wa Ushirikiano wa Jamii kuhusu Chanjo za COVID-19 kwa Watu Waliotengwa

This inter-agency guidance document (2.5MB .pdf) aims to supplement the COVAX demand creation package for COVID-19 vaccines, adding key considerations for humanitarian contexts and marginalized populations with specific access and communication needs.

This document has two primary parts:

  • Part 1 focuses on general considerations related to RCCE and advocacy for equitable COVID-19 access for marginalized populations.
  • Part 2 focuses on specific considerations and recommendations for each population segment. The population segments addressed are:
    • Refugees, migrants, internally displaced persons (IDPs), asylum seekers, and stateless individuals;
    • People with disabilities;
    • Older people;
    • LGBTQI+ populations;
    • People living in insecure areas or areas not controlled by the government;
    • People experiencing homelessness;
    • People living in informal settlements; and
    • Indigenous populations.

Under the Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) Collective Service—which is led by WHO, IFRC, UNICEF and GOARN—READY co-led the development of this publication with UNHCR, UNICEF, and IOM. Contributors included the Global Health Cluster Task Team Vaccine Working Group and many other partners.
