Access and Awareness of COVID-19 Testing and Vaccination for African Refugees

Join us for a live webinar panel and discussion on the realities of African refugees’ access to COVID-19 testing and vaccination, including vaccine hesitancy, and the potential negative impact on the resettlement of refugees. 

Following panelists' presentations, participants will be invited to discuss strategies and policies for equitable testing and vaccination in the face of ongoing population movements and humanitarian crises.

The session is organized by the CCR's African Refugee Network (ARN) – a sub-committee of the Overseas Protection and Resettlement (OPR) Working Group.
