Vaccination Equity

Vaccination equity means ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, has fair access to vaccines. It recognizes that factors like income, location, ethnicity, and health status can affect a person’s ability to get vaccinated. The goal is to reduce disparities so that disadvantaged or marginalized groups are not left behind, helping to protect the health of entire communities and prevent the spread of disease. In essence, vaccination equity promotes fairness in healthcare by making sure every individual can receive vaccines when they need them.
