Determinants of vaccine hesitancy among pregnant women in South-West Nigeria: an explanatory sequential mixed method design
A significant proportion of pregnant women in this study were vaccine-hesitant. The major reasons for vaccine hesitancy are concerns about the safety of vaccines and lack of trust for healthcare providers. Policies and programmes should be aimed at improving vaccination behaviour, addressing safety concerns and building trust in vaccination systems.
