Popis: Aim. The aim of this study was to examine ethnicity and educational level as predicting factors for the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines in Nigeria. Two (2) hypotheses were posed for this study. Methods. This study employed the concurrent explanatory design method. The sample was comprised of 32,224 respondents, all Nigerian citizens. A multistage sampling technique was employed for the survey involving quantitative data. A questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection. Results. The findings of this study revealed that there is a significant difference in COVID-19 vaccine acceptance based on tribe/ethnicity. The Tiv tribe and respondents who had tertiary education had the highest acceptance rate of COVID-19 vaccine. Conclusion. The findings of this study show that there is a significant relationship between ethnicity, educational level and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines in Nigeria. To improve the community-based COVID-19 immunization drive, it is crucial to develop creative, theory-based interventions to involve important stakeholders like village chiefs, religious leaders, and others. Additionally, a successful health message campaign must be implemented to fight the widespread falsehoods and misinformation that have contributed to the non-acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination.
Cilj. ove studije bio je ispitati etničku pripadnost i razinu obrazovanja kao faktore predviđanja prihvaćanja cjepiva protiv bolesti COVID-19 u Nigeriji. Za ovu studiju postavljene su dvije hipoteze. Metode. U ovoj studiji primijenjena je metoda paralelnog objašnjenja. Uzorak se sastojao od 32 224 ispitanika, od kojih su svi građani Nigerije. Za istraživanje koje uključuje kvantitativne podatke primijenjena je metoda višefaznog uzorkovanja. Kao instrument prikupljanja podataka primijenjen je upitnik. Rezultati. Nalazi ove studije otkrili su da postoji značajna razlika u prihvaćanju cjepiva protiv bolesti COVID-19 na temelju plemena / etničke pripadnosti. Pleme Tiv i ispitanici koji su imali tercijarno obrazovanje imali su najveću stopu prihvaćanja cjepiva protiv bolesti COVID-19. Zaključak. Nalazi ove studije pokazuju da postojiznačajan odnos između etničke pripadnosti, razine obrazovanja i prihvaćanja cjepiva protiv bolesti COVID-19 u Nigeriji. Kako bi se poboljšala akcija cijepljenja protiv bolesti COVID-19 u zajednici, ključno je razviti kreativne, teorijski utemeljene intervencije za uključivanje važnih dionika poput seoskih poglavara, vjerskih vođa i drugih. Osim toga, mora se provesti uspješna kampanja zdravstvenih poruka u borbi protiv raširenih laži i dezinformacija koje su pridonijele neprihvaćanju cijepljenja protiv bolesti COVID-19.
