METHODOLOGY: A descriptive cross-section survey was carried out among 115 randomly nominated frontline healthcare workers using a multistage sampling technique in Kwara and Ogun States of Nigeria. The workers aged 18 years and above who consented to participate in the survey were eligible for the study. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 23, and ethical approval was obtained from the institution. RESULTS: The results showed a 35.7% level of WTP, of which 78.6% of WTP respondents were ready to pay USD$10 for the Vaccine. More respondents with chronic diseases were eager to pay for the Vaccine at 77.8%, which was statistically significant. CONCLUSION: The predisposition of frontline healthcare workers to pay for the COVID-19 Vaccine increased with vaccine efficacy and less vaccine cost. The study revealed that most respondents were WTP USD$10 for COVID-19 vaccines. Trusted policy makers should be used for advocacy in combating the misinformation on COVID-19 vaccines.","PeriodicalId":393911,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences","volume":"184 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123352092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
