Methods This multi-center cross-sectional study used non-probability convenience sampling to enroll 1,470 hospital workers aged 18 and above from 4 specialized hospitals. A structured and validated self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Data entry and analysis were conducted using IBM SPSS ver. 22.0. Results The mean age of respondents was 40±6 years. Only 53.5% of the health workers had positive perceptions of the COVID-19 vaccine, and only slightly more than half (55.5%) were willing to receive vaccination. Predictors of willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine included having a positive perception of the vaccine (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 4.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.50−5.69), perceiving a risk of contracting COVID-19 (AOR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.25–3.98), having received tertiary education (AOR, 3.50; 95% CI, 1.40−6.86), and being a clinical health worker (AOR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.01−1.68). Conclusion Perceptions of the COVID-19 vaccine and willingness to receive the vaccine were sub-optimal among this group. Educational interventions to improve health workers' perceptions and attitudes toward the COVID-19 vaccine are needed.Oluseyi Ademola AdejumoOlorunfemi Akinbode OgundeleCynthia Roli MadubukoRosena Olubanke OluwafemiOgochukwu Chinedum OkoyeKenechukwu Chukwuemeka OkonkwoSunday Samson OwoladeOladimeji Adedeji JunaidOlutoyin Morenike LawalAdenike Christianah EnikuomehinMaureen Iru NtajiAisha SokunbiAina Omodele TimothyOlatunji Sunday AbolarinEmmanuel Olalekan AliJohn Oghenevwirhe Ohaju-ObodoKorea Centers for Disease Control & Preventionarticlecovid-19covid-19 vaccinehealth workersnigeriaperceptionwillingnessSpecial situations and conditionsRC952-1245Infectious and parasitic diseasesRC109-216ENOsong Public Health and Research Perspectives, Vol 12, Iss 4, Pp 236-243 (2021)
