Strategies That Promote Equity in COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake for Undocumented Immigrants: A Review

The paper also discusses solutions to overcome vaccine hesitancy, particularly government stakeholders providing culturally and linguistically responsive information and education about COVID-19 and vaccines, and partnering with trusted community-based organizations.
