Attitudes and experiences of asylum seekers and refugees to the COVID-19 vaccination: a qualitative study.

Background: COVID-19 disproportionately affected asylum seeker and refugee (ASR) populations owing to language and cultural barriers, lower health literacy, polytraumas and mental health needs, and increased exposure. Despite this, there was vaccine hesitancy and low vaccination rates in ASR populations.

Aim: To explore the attitudes to and experiences of the COVID-19 vaccination among ASRs.
