The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has exacerbated existing inequalities in certain populations, which may include refugees and migrants, particularly those in irregular situations. Refugees and migrants may face a range of individual, social, and physical barriers that underpin their decisions, motivation, and ability to receive COVID-19 vaccine and may result in transmission and severe disease and death.
