COVID‐19 Vaccination and Health Outcomes Among Adults With an Intellectual Disability in British Columbia, Canada
COVID-19 vaccination was effective in reducing the risk of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection among people with an intellectual disability. Safety measures such as prioritised vaccination are important steps for protecting vulnerable people with an intellectual disability from SARS-CoV-2 virus infection, especially as COVID-19 cases with an intellectual disability were more likely to suffer severe health outcomes.
