Abstract
The discovery and subsequent manufacture
of various types of COVID-19 vaccines were considered a
breakthrough in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Initially, limited supplies of COVID-19 vaccines warranted
vulnerable populations such as people living with chronic
non-communicable diseases and the elderly to be
prioritised for vaccination. Nevertheless, the uptake of
the COVID-19 vaccines among these populations was
suboptimal. In this study, we aimed to describe the drivers
of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among people living with
chronic non-communicable diseases in Ibadan, Nigeria.
