COVID-19 Vaccination and Informal Workers: Immunize, Don’t Marginalize
Analysis from our COVID-19 Crisis and the Informal Economy Study found:
• In the latter half of 2021, COVID-19 vaccine coverage among workers in informal employment was generally low, despite the fact that workers were often obliged to get vaccinated by employers and local authorities.
• Workers faced an array of barriers to accessing vaccination, ranging from a lack of vaccine availability caused by inequities in distribution, to barriers shaped by the informal nature of their labour.
• Grassroots worker organizations have been successfully advocating for access to vaccination, despite facing resource limitations.
