Stakeholders’ perspectives on lessons learnt from HPV mass vaccination in Nigeria
The findings highlight critical lessons for future vaccination programs. Early planning, proactive social mobilization, effective rumor management, and leveraging community networks were instrumental in enhancing vaccine acceptance and coverage. These strategies serve as a model for overcoming barriers to public health interventions and should be prioritized in future efforts to improve HPV and other vaccination programs in Nigeria.
