Drivers of COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake amongst Healthcare Workers (HCWs) in Nigeria
This study applied a behavioral lens to understand drivers of COVID-19 vaccination uptake among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Nigeria. The study used data from an online survey of Nigerian HCWs ages 18 and older conducted in July 2021. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to exami...

description | This study applied a behavioral lens to understand drivers of COVID-19 vaccination uptake among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Nigeria. The study used data from an online survey of Nigerian HCWs ages 18 and older conducted in July 2021. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine predictors of getting two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine. One-third of HCWs in our sample reported that they had gotten two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine. Motivation and ability were powerful predictors of being fully vaccinated: HCWs with high motivation and high ability had a 15-times higher odds ratio of being fully vaccinated. However, only 27% of HCWs had high motivation and high ability. This was primarily because the ability to get vaccinated was quite low among HCWs: Only 32% of HCWs reported that it was very easy to get a COVID-19 vaccination. By comparison, motivation was relatively high: 69% of HCWs reported that a COVID-19 vaccine was very important for their health. Much of the recent literature coming out of Nigeria and other LMICs focuses on increasing motivation to get a COVID-19 vaccination. Our findings highlight the urgency of making it easier for HCWs to get COVID-19 vaccinations. |
