COVID-19 vaccine website accessibility dashboard
Disability and Health Journal, 2022
This study analyzed the accessibility of COVID-19 information and registration websites from 56 U.S. states and territories for people with visual disabilities. Using the WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool, the study found significant accessibility issues, such as insufficient contrast and unlabeled buttons, with median error scores of 259 for information pages and 146 for registration pages. These findings emphasize the need to improve website accessibility to ensure equitable pandemic resources for the disability community.
