  • COVID-19 Vaccine Poll (Part 2)

    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 of 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 include: ‘the belief that covid-19 does not exist’ and ‘their believe in traditional herbs and treatment. This behavioral pattern towards the treatment of COVID-19 and the lack of belief in the existence of COVID-19 portends a serious public health risk that will ultimately affect the fight against stemming the spread of the virus in Nigeria.  Listen in for more revealing facts.

  • The Response Strategy: COVID-19 VACCINE: Nigeria’s Response, Concerns and Progress

    In this podcast, we discussed the COVID-19 VACCINE: Nigeria’s Response, Concerns, and Progress based on our most recent poll on the COVID-19 Vaccine Poll Release (December 2020, NOI Polls)  which revealed that about 6 in 10 (61 percent) Nigerians nationwide are willing to take the vaccine when it is made readily available in Nigeria. On the contrary, the analysis revealed that 39 percent of Nigerians nationwide are not willing to take the vaccine when it is eventually made readily available.

    • It was also found that the top three reasons given by Nigerians who had asserted that they are willing to take the vaccine when it readily available are: ‘because of personal health’ (28 percent), ‘to protect my life’ (23 percent) and ‘I can take it after confirming that it has no side effect’ (19 percent).
    • On the contrary, analysis of results shows that the top three for Nigerians who had asserted that they are not willing to take the COVID19 vaccine when it readily available are: ‘government are just using us to make money(25 percent), ‘I won't be infected, I believe in God’ (21 percent) and ‘I don’t like the vaccine ( 17 percent).
