Precarity, agency and trust: Vaccination decision-making in the context of the UK asylum system
Asylum seekers and refugees have often experienced substantial trauma and precarity and have a lack of agency directly imposed on them by the asylum system. These factors are likely to impact trust and decision-making around vaccination, with some also representing systemic or structural barriers to accessing services. Formative experiences in the UK are key to establishing trust in healthcare settings; a trauma-informed approach should be central in developing vaccination interventions for these groups, particularly in asylum accommodation.
