Abstract
This occasional paper examines the current state of the Covid-19 vaccine roll-out in Africa (as of June 2021), with a particular focus on the attitude and behaviour of states and other key stakeholders towards the inclusion of international migrants – including people with various work or study permits, refugees, asylum seekers, undocumented migrants and internally displaced people (IDPs) in these processes.
