Acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine and associated factors among healthcare workers in Katsina state: a cross-sectional study in Northwest Nigeria.
BMJ Open
December 2023
Objectives: Healthcare workers were prioritised to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in Nigeria. Administration of COVID-19 vaccination in Nigeria was challenging because of a lack of trust in vaccine safety and vaccine effectiveness among healthcare workers, who are expected to provide reliable information about vaccines and vaccine-preventable diseases in the communities. Hence, their acceptance and attitudes towards COVID-19 preventive practices could influence the acceptance of the vaccine by the local population.

- Ovarian cancer is more prevalent among Black women in West Africa compared to those in North America, and survival rates are lower for Black women than White women, with factors like histotype and age at diagnosis affecting outcomes.
- The study analyzed data from Nigerian patients, Caribbean-born Blacks, and US-born Blacks, revealing that Nigerians had a higher percentage of germ cell and sex-cord stromal tumors, whereas Caribbean and US-born blacks had more cases of serous ovarian cancer.
- Nigerians were diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancers at a younger age compared to their Caribbean and US counterparts, with all Black women showing earlier diagnosis of germ cell and sex-cord stromal tumors than White women.
Objective: Despite the increasing disease burden, there is a dearth of context-specific evidence on the risk factors for COVID-19 positivity and subsequent death in Nigeria. Thus, the study objective was to identify context-specific factors associated with testing positive for COVID-19 and fatality in Nigeria.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
