The findings of this study show that there is a significant relationship between ethnicity, educational level and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines in Nigeria.

Additionally, a successful health message campaign must be implemented to fight the widespread falsehoods and misinformation that have contributed to the non-acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination.
