UNHCR Survey on COVID-19 Vaccine Access and Willingness Among Refugees in China, July 2021

The COVID-19 Vaccination Survey in China was conducted by UNHCR in July 2021 to understand refugees' accessibility and willingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. The survey results show policy implementation flexibility and identify barriers like registration difficulties and fears of side effects. The dataset is available as a WEB APP or PDF report.

Use Cases

• Assessing vaccine accessibility for foreign populations based on reported policy flexibility and barriers.
• Analyzing drivers of vaccine hesitancy based on reported fears of side effects.
• Monitoring refugee inclusion in health plans based on survey data about registration and identity document issues.

Strengths

• Survey conducted by a major international organization (UNHCR).
• Provides specific temporal context (July 2021).
• Captures nuanced policy implementation details, such as free vaccine receipt among some foreigners.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single-country survey in mid-2021.
