Objective: the study examined attitudinal dispositions and cultural beliefs as correlates of acceptance of covid-19 vaccine by key populations in three states of Nigeria. Method: the study targeted key populations (health workers) who were selected from three ten local governments from each of the three states that were involved in the study. A survey research design of correlated type was adopted using questionnaire as instrument for data collection. The study tested three hypotheses at 0.05 level of significant and answered one research question. Results: the
findings reveal that attitudinal dispositions determine acceptance of covid-19 vaccines among key populations (health officers) in three states of Nigeria; cultural belief has a tendency to determine acceptance of covid-19 vaccines among key populations (health officers) in three states of Nigeria; attitudinal dispositions and cultural beliefs significantly contribute to the acceptance of covid-19 vaccine; and also the two factors attitudinal dispositions and cultural beliefs jointly significantly predict or determine acceptance of covid-19 vaccine by key populations (health
officers) in three states of Nigeria. The key populations (health workers) indicated acceptance of covid-19 vaccine; however, there are some impediments including inadequate information about the vaccine, long distance of vaccine location, and risk of being infected is very low. Conclusion: the study recommended based on the findings that there should be targeted efforts to address these impediments. Providing comprehensive and accessible information about the vaccine is crucial, as it can help dispel misconceptions and increase confidence among health workers.
