The study titled, “COVID-19 Vaccination & Migrants – Leaving No One Behind”, conducted by IOM India in partnership with UNFPA India, is an attempt to explore the migrant-specific nuances that ascertain the extent of access to the COVID-19 vaccines. This study captures the attitudes, knowledge and perceptions that influence migrant workers (internal as well as returnees from overseas) either towards hesitancy or acceptance of this immunization mandate.

Over 2,189 internal migrant workers were surveyed from 10 million-plus migrant-receiving cities (i.e., those having more than a million population as per Census 2011) across India.
