ABSTRACT
The Corona Virus Disease 19 (COVID-19) is the greatest threat to public health in recent times. It has infected over 40 million people globally, having an untoward economic impact on many nations. A global race to find a safe and effective vaccine is ongoing, but controversies exist over the conduct of the vaccine trials among the African population. We assessed the awareness, perceptions of, and willingness to participate in the anticipated COVID-19 vaccine trials among adults in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nigeria. Method: We used a web-based cross-sectional correlational survey and a purposive quota sampling technique to select 478 respondents.
