目的:本研究旨在探討奈及利亞民眾對 COVID-19 疫苗猶豫的決定因素,並分析他們在接種Covid-19疫苗過程中的決策方式。
方法:本研究採用質性研究方法,透過半結構式訪談,受訪者共有十八位。

結論:本研究發現,懷疑與不信任是奈及利亞民眾對 COVID-19 疫苗猶豫的主要決定因素。值得注意的是,這種疫苗猶豫的現象並不限於特定社會經濟地位或教育程度的人
Objectives: This research aimed to understand the determinants of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in Nigeria, as well as understand the decision-making process behind the choice to vaccinate or not.
