Although some refugees in India have begun getting vaccines, no one in his camp has received shots. Just over 7% of India's population is fully vaccinated and vaccine shortages have plagued the nation of almost 1.4 billion. Over 160 countries included refugees in their plans, but these have been upended by supply shortages. The Chin community in New Delhi, a Christian minority who fled the violence in Myanmar, started getting shots in June. Due to the transient nature of some refugee populations, some countries in Europe are gravitating towards using the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine for refugees.
