People with disabilities should be prioritized for the COVID-19 vaccine given the disproportionately higher mortality rates and social impacts. Equitable access is achieved when governments address barriers in booking, communication, physical, and environmental accessibility. Easy-to-read information, no or low burden of proof, multiple formats and ways of communicating, and physical and sensory considerations are the critical ways to enhancing access for people with disabilities.
