Building HPV vaccine confidence through codesigned interventions with and for healthcare workers in Nigeria: protocol for a pilot cluster randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine can effectively prevent cervical cancer, yet HPV vaccine uptake is particularly low in some low-income settings, due to supply and vaccine confidence barriers. HPV vaccine confidence has also been found to be lacking among healthcare workers in some countries, including Nigeria. Nigeria has a long history of low vaccine confidence in some parts of the country. HPV vaccine rumours and concerns have been observed throughout the country, including among healthcare workers. Interventions that specifically address healthcare workers' vaccine confidence are limited, since vaccine confidence is often assumed among this group. The aim of our pilot cluster randomised control trial (cRCT) is to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a trial
