Development of prediction models of COVID-19 vaccine uptake among Lebanese and Syrians in a district of Beirut, Lebanon: a population-based study
These findings indicate barriers to vaccine uptake among Syrian refugees and migrants, including legal residency status. These findings call for urgent action to enable equitable access to vaccines by raising awareness about the importance of vaccination and the targeting of migrant and refugee populations through vaccination campaigns.
