Exploring COVID-19 pandemic perceptions and vaccine uptake among community members and primary healthcare workers in Nigeria: A mixed methods study
Our findings underscore the need for tailored public health strategies to address specific sociodemographic factors, individual perceptions, and logistical challenges to enhance COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Public health campaigns should focus on debunking myths, improving vaccine literacy, and leveraging the social influence of respected community leaders to build trust.
