| Core Tip |
This study assessed coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine acceptance among Nigerians through an online survey with 1800 respondents. Despite a substantial acceptance rate of 63.9%, socio-demographic factors (age, gender, income, and religion) did not significantly influence vaccine uptake. Positive perceptions of vaccination were common, yet financial barriers affected acceptance rates. Key findings suggest enhancing public health education, economic support, and trust-building measures to improve vaccine uptake. Notably, individuals with chronic conditions were more inclined to accept the vaccine, underscoring the need for targeted interventions to achieve broader immunization coverage and herd immunity in Nigeria. |
