Jordan has launched a comprehensive COVID-19 vaccination program for refugees and asylum seekers. It is one of the first countries in the world to address the particular risk situation of refugees.
The UN refugee agency UNHCR in Geneva sang the praise of the Jordanian health authorities for including migrants and refugees in their initial vaccination run.
The Jordanian national COVID-19 vaccination plan began this week. Anyone living on Jordanian soil, including refugees and asylum seekers, is eligible to receive the vaccine free of charge, according to UNHCR.
Jordan is trying to encourage people to get vaccinated; Jordanian King Abdullah II was vaccinated against COVID19 earlier in the week, as was his son, Crown Prince al-Hussein.
