May 2022 | Reports
The Social Wellbeing Agency has completed updated analysis of COVID-19 vaccination uptake for disabled people, working with the Ministry of Health and in consultation with the Office for Disability Issues on various pieces of data analysis since November 2021.
The analysis shows disabled people have high rates of at least one dose of the vaccine, higher than those who are non-disabled. Māori and Pacific disabled communities are leading the charge by having significantly higher vaccination rates than Māori and Pacific non-disabled people.
This analysis builds on work published earlier this year, and shows a continued increase in the rate of COVID-19 vaccination in the disabled community.
The Vaccine uptake analysis contains detailed findings and trends as of 1 March 2022.
The Information Sheet contains a summary of findings as of 29 March 2022. The trends identified are the same as in the Analysis, but we have updated the data to reflect latest information.
A precursor to this work, analysing the uptake of childhood vaccinations, is available here.(external link)
