Description
Michael Ekholuenetale and three co-authors study vaccine uptake in Nigeria in a 2026 paper. They focus on women of childbearing age and the COVID-19 vaccine. Uptake differed between the north and south of the country. The team asked how much of that gap comes from who the women are, and how much stays unexplained.
They drew on a national survey of more than thirty six thousand women. About twenty nine percent of southern women reported the vaccine. The share in the north was near twenty four percent. Uptake rose with age, schooling, insurance, and household wealth. A split analysis sorted the gap into a part due to group traits and a part due to other forces. The results can guide fairer vaccine outreach across regions.
