Background of the Study
Vaccination is a cornerstone of public health strategies to combat infectious diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the importance of rapid vaccine deployment and effective policy implementation. In Nigeria, the government rolled out a national COVID-19 vaccination campaign with support from international organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
Borno State, affected by insurgency and limited healthcare access, faced unique challenges in vaccine distribution and administration. Insecurity, vaccine hesitancy, misinformation, and logistical barriers contributed to slow vaccine uptake. Understanding the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination policies in Borno State is critical to improving future immunization programs and strengthening public health resilience.
Statement of the Problem
Despite nationwide vaccination efforts, Borno State recorded relatively low COVID-19 vaccine coverage. Factors such as insecurity, distrust in government policies, logistical difficulties, and inadequate public awareness contributed to this challenge. The persistence of vaccine hesitancy and weak enforcement of vaccination mandates raise concerns about policy effectiveness.
This study seeks to assess the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination policies in Borno State, identify obstacles to vaccine uptake, and propose strategies for improving future vaccination programs.
