In this episode we presented our most recent findings from the COVID-19 Vaccine Poll on Live Radio and reacted to the feedback from different Nigerians on their perceptions and how they feel about the results.
The poll results revealed that 49 percent of Nigerians nationwide are aware of the several vaccines that have been developed in countries across the world and the reported effectiveness these vaccines against the coronavirus. In terms of the acceptance of the use of these recently developed COVID-19 vaccines in Nigeria, the poll revealed a large proportion of Nigerians support the use of the vaccines in Nigeria.
Alarmingly, the analysis of reasons given by Nigerians who are not in support of the use of these vaccines in Nigeria shows that they lack knowledge on the COVID-19 as this can be seen from their reasons which includes: ‘the believe that covid-19 does not exist’ and ‘their believe in traditional herbs and treatment. This behavioural pattern towards the treatment of COVID-19 and the lack of believe in the existence of COVID-19 portends of a serious public health risk that will ultimately affect the fight against stemming spread of the virus in Nigeria.
