Nurses’ knowledge and willingness to recommend malaria vaccination to caregivers of under-5 in Nigeria: a nationwide survey
The findings highlight major gaps in Nigerian nursing's knowledge and awareness of malaria vaccinations, as well as their willingness to recommend the vaccine to parents. Addressing these gaps will enable nurses to play a critical role in the successful implementation of malaria immunization campaigns, lowering the illness burden among vulnerable populations.
