Background of the Study
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the role of social media in disseminating public health information. Platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp have been widely used to promote vaccine acceptance, combat misinformation, and provide real-time health updates (WHO, 2024). While social media health campaigns have been successful in some regions, vaccine hesitancy remains a challenge in many communities, including Bauchi State (Ibrahim & Yusuf, 2024).
Bauchi State has experienced varying levels of vaccine hesitancy, influenced by misinformation, cultural beliefs, and distrust in healthcare systems (Adepoju & Salami, 2024). This study evaluates the impact of social media health campaigns in addressing misinformation and improving COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in the region.
Statement of the Problem
Despite extensive COVID-19 vaccination efforts, vaccine hesitancy persists in Bauchi State, largely due to misinformation and distrust in government-led health initiatives (Abubakar & Hassan, 2024). While social media campaigns have been employed to promote vaccine awareness, their effectiveness in improving vaccine acceptance remains uncertain.
This study examines how social media health campaigns influence public perceptions and decision-making regarding COVID-19 vaccination in Bauchi State.
Objectives of the Study
- To assess public perceptions of COVID-19 vaccines in Bauchi State.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of social media health campaigns in increasing vaccine acceptance.

Research Questions
- What are the public perceptions of COVID-19 vaccines in Bauchi State?
- How effective are social media health campaigns in increasing vaccine acceptance?
- What factors influence the effectiveness of social media vaccine campaigns?
Research Hypotheses
- Social media health campaigns have no significant impact on COVID-19 vaccine acceptance.
- There is no significant relationship between social media exposure and vaccine uptake.
- The effectiveness of social media health campaigns is not significantly influenced by misinformation levels.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study focuses on social media health campaigns in Bauchi State, assessing their impact on vaccine acceptance. Limitations include variations in internet access, exposure to misinformation, and individual biases toward COVID-19 vaccines.
Definitions of Terms
- Social Media Health Campaigns: Online public health initiatives aimed at promoting health awareness and behavioral change.
