Therefore, it is important for organisations to provide appropriate and accessible public health information to this population to reduce their risk of infection and to support them to make informed healthcare decisions. This article details a literature review that was undertaken to evaluate the information provided to people with learning disabilities about COVID-19 and its vaccinations. A web search was conducted to identify relevant easy read documents and seven documents from organisations in various regions were selected for inclusion in the review. The accessibility of each document was evaluated using three criteria: text, colour and image. Most of the documents examined were consistent with the guidance and recommendations for easy read information but several discrepancies were also identified. The findings of this literature review demonstrate the importance of including people with learning disabilities when developing accessible information. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
