Diversity Impact on Vaccine Equity (DIVE) in Sri Lanka: November 2021
Covid-19 has shed light on ongoing disparities in vaccine access and confidence among different ethnic groups worldwide. Verité Research conducted a study to analyse social media content shared on Covid-19 vaccine confidence, uptake, and access among three ethnic groups in Sri Lanka—Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims.
This study was financially supported by Minority Rights Group International. The purpose of the study was to identify how social media can be used to understand the degree of vaccine confidence and uptake among different ethnic groups, and their access to vaccines.
Verité Research, as the name implies, is an independent think tank with research at its core. We carry out this research along four areas –economics, politics, media, and law. Leveraging this research, we provide strategic analysis and advice to governments, organisations, and the private sector in Sri Lanka and beyond.
