Study to examine COVID-19 vaccination in humanitarian settings
Overview
The purpose of the study is to better understand good practices as well as challenges faced in regard to the equitable deployment and administration of COVID-19 vaccines to reach affected populations in humanitarian settings, as well as to understand measures taken to mitigate the impact on essential health services (including routine immunisation).
The study objectives are threefold:
To understand and document successful practices as well as challenges faced in relation to reaching and administering COVID-19 vaccination in humanitarian settings.
To understand and document the successful strategies and enabling factors that allow governments and national task forces to best leverage the support of humanitarian actors to reach PoC.
To understand and document measures taken to mitigate the impact on the disruption of essential health services, including routine immunisation.
Humanitarian settings, for the purpose of this study, are the specific geographical locations affected by humanitarian crises where a Health Cluster has been activated. Populations of Concern (PoCs) are the specific populations affected by the humanitarian crisis.
