Description: Ensuring equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines across and within countries is a key challenge. Stateless people risk being excluded from national immunization plans. The issue of access to civil registration in relation to COVID-19 also warrants special attention. Disruptions in birth registration services have created new risks of statelessness. A number of are reporting lower birth registration rates due to the partial or complete suspension of birth registration services. Reportedly, birth registration campaigns are stopped. If resultant backlogs are not prioritized for resolution in the period to come, many children may wind up at risk of statelessness.
