dc.description.abstractVaccine hesitancy poses a significant challenge to public health efforts in Nigeria, a country characterized by immense cultural and  linguistic diversity. The interactions among linguistic obstacles, cultural and religious beliefs, and historical elements that lead to vaccine  hesitancy among Nigeria's many ethnic groups are examined in this review article. It analyzes the decision-making processes and  information needs of Nigerian parents regarding childhood vaccinations. The article evaluates the effectiveness of existing vaccine  promotion interventions and communication strategies, highlighting successes, limitations, and areas for improvement. By consolidating  research findings, the review aims to inform the development of culturally appropriate and context-specific approaches to address  vaccine hesitancy and enhance vaccine uptake in Nigeria. Recommendations emphasize formative research, community engagement,  capacity building for healthcare workers, and the strategic use of diverse communication channels to reach diverse populations with  tailored vaccination information and support. </jats:p>en_US
