Abstract

Web accessibility helps in making the websites accessible for all. There has been too much research on the accessibility of websites across different domains such as education, health, banking, route services, Government portals, literature, etc. In this research, we have tried to explore the much less investigated domain of the accessibility analysis of COVID-19 vaccine registration and information websites of Asian Countries. The analysis has been done based on WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 guidelines. The evaluation has been done using automated tools including Access Monitor and AChecker. The results indicate that only 62% of the websites have passed the accessibility score. We have also identified common errors in these websites and have given recommendations for improvement.
