A total of 125 respondents participated, with an average age of 36.62 years. The gender distribution was 54.4% male and 45.6% female, and 53.6% held graduate-level education. Satisfaction levels were high, with 96% comfortable with pharmacy-based vaccination and 98.4% satisfied with the injection technique. Notably, 96.8% would recommend pharmacy vaccination services. Motivations included personal health protection (88%), protecting others (80%), and following health recommendations (84%). Accessibility was a crucial factor, with 93.6% citing convenient opening hours and 98.4% highlighting easy accessibility. Trust in pharmacies was significant, with 95.2% expressing confidence in pharmacy-based vaccinations. However, 49.6% indicated they would have sought vaccination elsewhere if not available at pharmacies. Adverse events were minimal, with the most common being injection site pain (32.8% after the first dose). Only 5.6% reported adverse events that discouraged future vaccinations. The study underscores the role of community pharmacies in expanding vaccination coverage, driven by high satisfaction, trust, and accessibility. These findings advocate for integrating pharmacists into Nigeria’s immunization strategy, emphasizing the positive reception and potential for broader vaccination service delivery. Background Immunization coverage in African countries has made significant strides, leading to the reported eradication of preventable diseases such as Polio [1]. Despite these achievements, vaccine coverage in African nations often falls below national targets, necessitating ongoing efforts to enhance vaccine delivery and coverage [2,3] Health professionals, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 vaccine in Nigeria, play a pivotal role in optimizing immunization efforts. Recent policy changes have included community pharmacists’ vaccinators, signifying a transformative shift in vaccination services [4,5]. History of Pharmacist Involvement in Vaccination, Worldwide and in Nigeria: While countries like the United States, Australia, Switzerland, Ireland, and the United Kingdom have successfully integrated pharmacists into vaccination services [6], Nigeria's healthcare system has yet to fully recognize pharmacists as integral members of the vaccine workforce. Despite the absence of official policies restricting community pharmacists from providing immunization services, addressing barriers to pharmacist involvement is crucial [7]. The International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) emphasizes the diverse roles of pharmacists globally, particularly during health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic [8]. Pharmacy education in Nigeria, regulated by the National Universities Commission and Ministry of Health, adequately prepares pharmacists for various roles, including vaccination services [9,10]. However, studies highlight challenges such as lack of integration into vaccination services, economic constraints, and logistical issues faced by pharmacists [7]. Positive strides, including training initiatives by the Association of Community Pharmacists of Nigeria (ACPN) in collaboration with Mercer University, aim to enhance pharmacist involvement in vaccination [11]. Patient Satisfaction with Pharmacists' Administered COVID-19 Vaccination: About 97% of the respondents in Poland agreed that the administration of vaccinations by pharmacists had been convenient, pharmacists possessed the relevant skills to provide this, and expressed their willingness to be vaccinated by pharmacists again, including vaccines other than COVID-19 [12,13]. While the Canadian study highlighted patients' willingness to receive vaccines from university staff and student pharmacists [14], similar sentiments were echoed in a study conducted in Germany, where factors such as convenience and accessibility played a significant role in patients' preferences for receiving the COVID-19 vaccine at pharmacies [15]. Likewise, in France, trust in pharmacists emerged as a key factor influencing patients' decisions to utilize pharmacist-administered COVID-19 vaccination services [16]. However, in the United States, patients expressed willingness to participate in pharmacy-based immunization services, albeit hindered by concerns surrounding cost and insurance coverage [17]. FACTORS INFLUENCING VACCINE UPTAKE AT COMMUNITY PHARMACIES The COVID-19 pandemic faced some factors such as vaccine hesitancy primarily as a result of a lack of accepting the novel pandemic vaccines by health professionals and the general public [17]. Other contributing factors that significantly affects awareness were religion, occupation, education and prior diagnosis of COVID-19; for perception and willingness—occupation, poverty, lack of education especially in rural areas of Nigeria [18, 19] Studies involving community men and women, caregivers especially mothers and stakeholders in immunization delivery indicated the unavailability of vaccines at scheduled times, and indirect costs of immunization, lack of active cold chain facilities contributed to low utilization [20, 21]. The primary aim of this study is to assess and understand patient perspective on satisfaction, motivations, and reasons associated with pharmacist-administered COVID-19 vaccinations in Nigeria. The research endeavors to explore key aspects, including, satisfaction levels, motivation factors for receiving the COVID-19 vaccination, and the rationale behind choosing a pharmacy for vaccination. Objectives: Evaluate the satisfaction levels of individuals who have undergone COVID-19 vaccination administered by pharmacists. Understand the factors contributing to satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the service provided. Investigate the motivations driving individuals to choose pharmacist-administered COVID-19 vaccinations. Examine the reasons individuals opt for pharmacies as the venue for receiving the COVID-19 vaccination. Investigate factors contributing to vaccine hesitancy among individuals in the context of pharmacist-administered COVID-19 vaccinations. Examine the awareness and reporting of adverse effects following immunization among those who received vaccinations from pharmacies. . Methodology Ethical clearance and collaborations As this project seeks to utilize COVID-19 vaccine data from patients, we worked with ACPN Abuja to have access to patients who received the vaccines during the study timeline in Abuja, Nigeria. The first step we took was writing to the National Health Research Ethics Committee of Nigeria (NHREC) of the Federal Ministry of Health, Abuja to obtain a research ethics clearance which was issued in April 2023. All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations. The study protocol was approved by the National Health Research Ethics Committee of Nigeria (NHREC) of the Federal Ministry of Health, Abuja, Nigeria with approval number NHREC/01/01/2007- 19/04/2023. Oral Informed consent was obtained from all participants prior to their inclusion in the study. All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations. Through this ethical clearance, and the support of ACPN, we wrote to designated community pharmacies (which are approved COVID-19 vaccination sites by NPHCDA) to participate in the study. We had a meeting with these stakeholders (the community pharmacies) and agreed on the data collection procedures. Upon voluntary acceptance of these pharmacies, we included six pharmacies (Alobson Pharmacy, FruitfulVine Pharmacy, HealthCamp Pharmacy, Always pharmacy, Nolad Pharmacy, and Rhosag Pharmacy) as data points for the study. Study Design We collected survey data from voluntarily participating pharmacies from Abuja from 15th April − 12th September 2023. Pharmacies were asked to join the study via the local pharmacists-association (Association of Community Pharmacists of Nigeria ACPN- Abuja), vaccinated patients’ data were obtained from the pharmacies and a team of five researchers who were also pharmacists participated in calling the already vaccinated patients and administered the questionnaire via phone call. Participation in the survey was voluntary for the patients as well; the patients were asked to provide consents and their confidentialities were protected. Survey and Data Collection The survey consisted of an online questionnaire in English language, designed using KobotoolBox. Multi-stage random sampling approach was used in the data collection process. Community pharmacies, which are the data points, were selected from the pool of NPHCDA approved vaccination centers based on pre-requisite immunization training, existing vaccination records and willingness to submit the study. Patients were randomly selected from the available vaccination records and interviewed. The Yamane formula was used for the sample size determination. n = N/1 + Νɛ2 Where, n = minimum returned sample size N = the population size ɛ = adjust margin of error [ɛ [ɛ = (ρe/t )] e = the degree of accuracy expressed as a proportion ρ = the number of standard deviations that would include all possible t = t-value for the selected alpha level of confidence level The questionnaire was adapted from a previous study on pharmacist-administered COVID-19 vaccinations in Switzerland and includes four main sections: Demographic information, satisfaction with the service, motivation for getting the COVID-19 vaccination, and reason for getting the vaccination in a pharmacy [22,23]. Pharmacists from the pharmacies which were included in the study were invited to a stakeholder meeting on 18th March 2023, to review and adapt to the Nigerian context. Based on the recommendation from the stakeholders meeting, questions on vaccine hesitancy, adverse effects following immunization and recommendations on ways vaccination services can be improved upon at community pharmacies were added.

The data encompasses details about the pharmacies involved, the age and gender distribution of the participants, their educational background, the types of vaccines received, vaccination history, presumed COVID-19 infections, and the intervals between presumed infection and vaccination. The average(mean) age of respondents was calculated at 36.62 years, providing an indication of the demographic profile of those seeking COVID-19 vaccination in pharmacy settings. The gender distribution revealed a near-balanced representation, with 54.4% male and 45.6% female respondents. Educational background information showed a diverse range, with the majority having attained graduate-level education (53.6%), followed by secondary education (32%). This data sheds light on the educational diversity of individuals seeking COVID-19 vaccination at pharmacies. Regarding the types of vaccines received, 44.8% does not know which type of vaccine was administered. Among the highlighted vaccine types, 'Moderna. Spikevax' was mentioned as being the most prevalent (25.6%). The diversity of vaccines administered reflects the availability and accessibility of different vaccine brands at these pharmacies. It was also observed that 35.2% of respondents had received vaccines other than the COVID-19 vaccine in the past, listing various vaccines such as Antitetanus, yellow fever, Hep B, Meningitis, MMR, and Polio. This finding indicates the importance of understanding the vaccination history and practices of the target population. Regarding presumed and confirmed COVID-19 infections, 7.2% reported a presumed infection, while only 0.8% had confirmed infections. The intervals between presumed infection and vaccination varied, with the majority falling within the 1–3-month range. Furthermore, Table 2 describes a comprehensive overview of the satisfaction levels among individuals who underwent COVID-19 vaccination in a pharmacy setting. The study, comprising 125 respondents, explores various aspects of the vaccination process, shedding light on their comfort, satisfaction, and recommendations. The majority of respondents (96%) expressed comfort with COVID vaccination being administered in a pharmacy, highlighting a high level of acceptance for pharmacies as vaccination venues. This is a crucial finding as it indicates a positive perception of pharmacies as effective and accessible points for vaccine administration. Regarding the specifics of the vaccination process, an overwhelming 98.4% of respondents were satisfied with the injection technique employed at the pharmacy. This high satisfaction rate suggests a commendable standard in the execution of the vaccination process, contributing to a positive overall experience for vaccine recipients. The preliminary discussion about COVID vaccination prior to the vaccination was positively perceived by 93.6% of respondents. This underscores the importance of effective communication and information dissemination in the vaccination process, contributing to the overall satisfaction of individuals. An intriguing aspect explored in the survey is the perception of pharmacists/pharmacies being well-informed about COVID vaccines. A notable 47.2% strongly agreed, while an additional 44% agreed. This indicates a general vote of confidence in the knowledge and competence of pharmacists and pharmacies in providing accurate information about COVID vaccines. The study also gauged satisfaction with the premises (setting) where the vaccination took place. The data reveals a high satisfaction rate of 96.8%, reinforcing the significance of the physical environment in shaping the overall satisfaction of vaccine recipients. A noteworthy finding is that 96.8% of respondents would recommend COVID-19 vaccination at the pharmacy, showcasing a high level of confidence and trust in the pharmacy setting for administering vaccines. While the satisfaction levels are generally high across various parameters, 20% of respondents expressed a desire for changes in the current service. This signals an opportunity for pharmacies to consider and address specific aspects that may enhance the overall experience for a segment of their clientele. Additionally, Table 3 describes the motivations and considerations of the 125 respondents regarding their decision to receive the COVID-19 vaccination, shedding light on the various factors influencing their choices. The data reveals compelling insights into the multifaceted motivations driving individuals to seek vaccination at pharmacies. The primary motivation for respondents to get vaccinated was a personal commitment to reducing their risk of contracting the coronavirus, with a significant 88% affirming this motivation. This underscores a strong sense of personal responsibility and a proactive approach to health among the respondents. A notable finding is that 47.2% of respondents perceived their job as putting them at a higher risk of contracting the virus. This employment-related risk perception highlights the intersectionality of health and occupation, with individuals considering their workplace as a potential source of exposure. Another significant motivation identified in the data is the desire to protect others from potential infection, with 80% expressing this altruistic motive. This finding reflects a collective responsibility to curb the spread of the virus within communities, emphasizing the interconnectedness of individual and community health.The data also indicates that 50.4% of respondents work with individuals who need protection from coronavirus infection, such as the elderly, the sick, or nursing home residents. This underscores the role of vaccination as a means of safeguarding vulnerable populations and aligns with broader public health goals. Interestingly, a considerable proportion (84%) expressed the motivation to follow the recommendations of the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH Nigeria), highlighting the influence of official health guidelines on individual decision-making. This suggests a high level of trust and compliance with national health authorities. On the practical side, motivations related to the desire for less restriction in everyday life (84%) and the ability to travel abroad (52.8%) showcase the broader societal and lifestyle considerations that factor into the decision to get vaccinated. Moreover, the willingness of respondents to undergo annual booster vaccinations (56%) and their openness to receiving these boosters at pharmacies (57.6%) provide insights into the potential long-term engagement of individuals with vaccination services. Finally, the data reveals that only a small proportion (3.2%) of respondents conducted an antibody test before deciding to vaccinate, indicating that, for the majority, the decision to get vaccinated was not contingent on prior confirmation of immunity. More so, Table 4 elucidates the reasons influencing individuals' decisions to choose a community pharmacy for their COVID-19 vaccination, offering valuable insights into the factors that contribute to the accessibility and trustworthiness of pharmacy-based vaccination services. The data reveals that a significant proportion of respondents (45.6%) opted for the community pharmacy because it was the only vaccination center available to them. This suggests that the accessibility and availability of vaccination services play a pivotal role in individuals' choices, with community pharmacies serving as a convenient and accessible option. The alignment of community pharmacy opening hours with respondents' schedules emerged as a substantial factor, as an overwhelming 93.6% stated that the pharmacy's operating hours suited them. This finding underscores the importance of flexibility and convenience in healthcare services, as individuals seek options that align with their daily routines. Accessibility, including factors such as parking and public transport connections, emerged as a decisive factor, with an impressive 98.4% affirming that the community pharmacy was easily accessible for them. This emphasizes the role of location and convenience in the decision-making process, as individuals prioritize accessible vaccination centers. Positive past experiences played a role for a smaller proportion of respondents (13.6%), who chose the community pharmacy because of their previous positive encounters with vaccinations at the pharmacy. This suggests that a positive track record and patient satisfaction contribute to the reputation and attractiveness of pharmacy-based vaccination services. In cases where respondents' regular healthcare providers were not available or accessible, 12.8% chose the community pharmacy for their COVID-19 vaccination, highlighting the role of community pharmacies as accessible alternatives in healthcare delivery. An overwhelming majority (95.2%) of respondents expressed trust in the community pharmacy, indicating a high level of confidence in the competence and reliability of pharmacy professionals in administering vaccinations. Interestingly, nearly half of the respondents (49.6%) stated that they would have had the COVID vaccination done elsewhere if the community pharmacy was not an option. This suggests that while community pharmacies are popular choices, there is still a notable portion of the population open to alternative vaccination locations. Regarding previous vaccination experiences, 8% of respondents had received other vaccinations at a community pharmacy, with Hepatitis B vaccine, tetanus toxoid, and Yellow fever being among the mentioned vaccines. This data underscores the potential expansion of community pharmacy services beyond COVID-19 vaccination. Finally, a resounding 96.8% of respondents who had not received other vaccinations at a community pharmacy expressed their willingness to recommend the inclusion of additional vaccination services in community pharmacies. This indicates a positive perception of community pharmacies as suitable venues for a range of vaccination services. The data presented in Table 5 sheds light on the occurrence of adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination, specifically focusing on symptoms such as injection site swelling, pain at the injection site, fatigue or tiredness, headache, myalgia (muscle pain), chills and rigor, increased appetite, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, fever, joint pain, bitter taste in the mouth, and other specified symptoms. For injection site swelling, 10.4% of respondents reported experiencing it after the first dose, 0.8% after the third dose, while none reported it after the second dose. Pain at the injection site was reported by 32.8% after the first dose, 3.2% after the second dose, and 1.6% after the third dose. Fatigue or tiredness was reported by 28.0% after the first dose, 1.6% after the second dose, and 1.6% after the third dose. Headache was reported by 24.8% after the first dose, 2.4% after the second dose, and 0.8% after the third dose. Myalgia occurred in 20.8% after the first dose, 1.6% after the second dose, and 0.8% after the third dose. Chills and rigor were reported by 23.2% after the first dose, 1.6% after the second dose, and 0.8% after the third dose. Increased appetite, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, fever, joint pain, and bitter taste in the mouth showed varying percentages. Regarding the severity of adverse events, 40.0% reported them as mild, 39.2% as no adverse effect, 7.2% as severe, and 4.0% as very severe. Encouragingly, the majority (69.6%) reported adverse events to the pharmacist who administered the vaccine. In terms of discouragement from future vaccinations, 5.6% and 4.8% answered 'yes' to whether the pharmacist's management of adverse events discouraged them from taking vaccines or vaccines at a pharmacy in the future, respectively. The majority, however, did not feel discouraged. Overall, this data provides valuable insights into the prevalence, nature, and management of adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination, contributing to a nuanced understanding of the vaccine's safety profile in a community pharmacy setting. The high percentage of respondents reporting adverse events to the pharmacist indicates a level of trust and communication within the healthcare provider-patient relationship. The qualitative data from the survey presents insights into the factors that discourage people from taking or receiving the COVID-19 vaccination, along with advice for those reluctant to take the vaccine. The responses reveal a variety of concerns and perceptions. Among the reasons for vaccine hesitancy, several respondents mentioned vaccine confidence, with one stating: “ Fear of expired vaccines being used, better alternatives such as local herbs, fear of elimination of Africans”. Misinformation and rumors, fueled by conspiracy theories and lack of transparency from the government, also contributed to vaccine hesitancy as mentioned in these quotes from the survey “Lack of information and education about the vaccines. Rumours of negative effects of the vaccine” “ the fact that the vaccine discovery and production seemed rushed” . Issues related to governance, doubts about the vaccine's safety, and cultural factors such as trust played a role in some individuals' decisions to avoid vaccination. Additionally, factors like ignorance, illiteracy, and reliance on false information from the internet were cited as reasons for hesitancy “ I would say because of the bad social media information” “People are scared of the infection and they have wrong information about the vaccine”. On the other hand, the advice given to those reluctant to take the vaccine reflects a diverse range of opinions. While some emphasize the importance of getting vaccinated for health and safety - “I would advice that they should take for I didn't experience any ill effects contrary to the propaganda amongst others” and “I encourage them that so far NAFDAC has approved it, then it is good to go” - others adopt a more neutral stance, suggesting that individuals should make their own choices - “It is their choice” and “I was only mandated to take the vaccine because of my job otherwise I wouldn't have taken, so I won't encourage anyone to take it” . Many respondents advocate for obtaining accurate information from reliable sources and dispelling rumors - “Avoid rumours and get vaccinated”. The theme of prevention being better than cure is recurrent in the advice, emphasizing the benefits of vaccination in safeguarding against the virus - ”Prevention is better than cure, it's better to take it than struggling to treat it eventually” . Conclusion The study provides valuable insights into satisfaction levels, motivations, adverse events, and vaccine hesitancy among individuals receiving COVID-19 vaccination at pharmacies. High satisfaction and motivation were observed, driven by personal health considerations and trust in pharmacists. Adverse events, mostly mild, underscore the importance of vigilant monitoring. Vaccine hesitancy, influenced by fear, misinformation, and cultural factors, underscores the need for targeted interventions. The study highlights pharmacies' pivotal role in enhancing vaccination access and emphasizes the importance of addressing concerns to bolster vaccine uptake and public health outcomes. Pharmacists are urged to prioritize patient education and safety measures to facilitate effective vaccination campaigns and promote community health. However, as a limitation, it's noteworthy that the study was conducted solely in the Federal Capital Territory, and challenges such as numerous inactive phone numbers may have influenced the total number of patients interviewed. Hence, further research across the country, with larger, more diverse samples and longitudinal designs, is imperative to validate and expand upon these findings.

Pharmacies in Abuja Nigeria","fulltext":[{"header":"Background","content":"\u003cp\u003eImmunization coverage in African countries has made significant strides, leading to the reported eradication of preventable diseases such as Polio [1]. Despite these achievements, vaccine coverage in African nations often falls below national targets, necessitating ongoing efforts to enhance vaccine delivery and coverage [2,3] Health professionals, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 vaccine in Nigeria, play a pivotal role in optimizing immunization efforts. Recent policy changes have included community pharmacists\u0026rsquo; vaccinators, signifying a transformative shift in vaccination services [4,5].\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory of Pharmacist Involvement in Vaccination, Worldwide and in Nigeria:\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile countries like the United States, Australia, Switzerland, Ireland, and the United Kingdom have successfully integrated pharmacists into vaccination services [6], Nigeria's healthcare system has yet to fully recognize pharmacists as integral members of the vaccine workforce. Despite the absence of official policies restricting community pharmacists from providing immunization services, addressing barriers to pharmacist involvement is crucial [7]. The International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) emphasizes the diverse roles of pharmacists globally, particularly during health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic [8]. Pharmacy education in Nigeria, regulated by the National Universities Commission and Ministry of Health, adequately prepares pharmacists for various roles, including vaccination services [9,10]. However, studies highlight challenges such as lack of integration into vaccination services, economic constraints, and logistical issues faced by pharmacists [7]. Positive strides, including training initiatives by the Association of Community Pharmacists of Nigeria (ACPN) in collaboration with Mercer University, aim to enhance pharmacist involvement in vaccination [11].\u003c/p\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"Sec3\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePatient Satisfaction with Pharmacists' Administered COVID-19 Vaccination:\u003c/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout 97% of the respondents in Poland agreed that the administration of vaccinations by pharmacists had been convenient, pharmacists possessed the relevant skills to provide this, and expressed their willingness to be vaccinated by pharmacists again, including vaccines other than COVID-19 [12,13].\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the Canadian study highlighted patients' willingness to receive vaccines from university staff and student pharmacists [14], similar sentiments were echoed in a study conducted in Germany, where factors such as convenience and accessibility played a significant role in patients' preferences for receiving the COVID-19 vaccine at pharmacies [15]. Likewise, in France, trust in pharmacists emerged as a key factor influencing patients' decisions to utilize pharmacist-administered COVID-19 vaccination services [16]. However, in the United States, patients expressed willingness to participate in pharmacy-based immunization services, albeit hindered by concerns surrounding cost and insurance coverage [17].\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFACTORS INFLUENCING VACCINE UPTAKE AT COMMUNITY PHARMACIES\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe COVID-19 pandemic faced some factors such as vaccine hesitancy primarily as a result of a lack of accepting the novel pandemic vaccines by health professionals and the general public [17]. Other contributing factors that significantly affects awareness were religion, occupation, education and prior diagnosis of COVID-19; for perception and willingness\u0026mdash;occupation, poverty, lack of education especially in rural areas of Nigeria [18, 19]\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Studies involving community men and women, caregivers especially mothers and stakeholders in immunization delivery indicated the unavailability of vaccines at scheduled times, and indirect costs of immunization, lack of active cold chain facilities contributed to low utilization [20, 21].\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe primary aim of this study is to assess and understand patient perspective on satisfaction, motivations, and reasons associated with pharmacist-administered COVID-19 vaccinations in Nigeria. The research endeavors to explore key aspects, including, satisfaction levels, motivation factors for receiving the COVID-19 vaccination, and the rationale behind choosing a pharmacy for vaccination.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eObjectives:\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvaluate the satisfaction levels of individuals who have undergone COVID-19 vaccination administered by pharmacists.

The first step we took was writing to the National Health Research Ethics Committee of Nigeria (NHREC) of the Federal Ministry of Health, Abuja to obtain a research ethics clearance which was issued in April 2023. All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations. The study protocol was approved by the National Health Research Ethics Committee of Nigeria (NHREC) of the Federal Ministry of Health, Abuja, Nigeria with approval number NHREC/01/01/2007- 19/04/2023. Oral Informed consent was obtained from all participants prior to their inclusion in the study. All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations. Through this ethical clearance, and the support of ACPN, we wrote to designated community pharmacies (which are approved COVID-19 vaccination sites by NPHCDA) to participate in the study. We had a meeting with these stakeholders (the community pharmacies) and agreed on the data collection procedures. Upon voluntary acceptance of these pharmacies, we included six pharmacies (Alobson Pharmacy, FruitfulVine Pharmacy, HealthCamp Pharmacy, Always pharmacy, Nolad Pharmacy, and Rhosag Pharmacy) as data points for the study.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStudy Design\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe collected survey data from voluntarily participating pharmacies from Abuja from 15th April \u0026minus;\u0026thinsp;12th September 2023. Pharmacies were asked to join the study via the local pharmacists-association (Association of Community Pharmacists of Nigeria ACPN- Abuja), vaccinated patients\u0026rsquo; data were obtained from the pharmacies and a team of five researchers who were also pharmacists participated in calling the already vaccinated patients and administered the questionnaire via phone call. Participation in the survey was voluntary for the patients as well; the patients were asked to provide consents and their confidentialities were protected.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"Sec8\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSurvey and Data Collection\u003c/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe survey consisted of an online questionnaire in English language, designed using KobotoolBox. Multi-stage random sampling approach was used in the data collection process. Community pharmacies, which are the data points, were selected from the pool of NPHCDA approved vaccination centers based on pre-requisite immunization training, existing vaccination records and willingness to submit the study.

Findings","content":"\u003cp\u003eThe demographic information of the 125 respondents who participated in the survey regarding COVID-19 vaccination at various pharmacies was described in Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab1\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e. The data encompasses details about the pharmacies involved, the age and gender distribution of the participants, their educational background, the types of vaccines received, vaccination history, presumed COVID-19 infections, and the intervals between presumed infection and vaccination. The average(mean) age of respondents was calculated at 36.62 years, providing an indication of the demographic profile of those seeking COVID-19 vaccination in pharmacy settings. The gender distribution revealed a near-balanced representation, with 54.4% male and 45.6% female respondents. Educational background information showed a diverse range, with the majority having attained graduate-level education (53.6%), followed by secondary education (32%). This data sheds light on the educational diversity of individuals seeking COVID-19 vaccination at pharmacies. Regarding the types of vaccines received, 44.8% does not know which type of vaccine was administered. Among the highlighted vaccine types, 'Moderna. Spikevax' was mentioned as being the most prevalent (25.6%). The diversity of vaccines administered reflects the availability and accessibility of different vaccine brands at these pharmacies. It was also observed that 35.2% of respondents had received vaccines other than the COVID-19 vaccine in the past, listing various vaccines such as Antitetanus, yellow fever, Hep B, Meningitis, MMR, and Polio. This finding indicates the importance of understanding the vaccination history and practices of the target population. Regarding presumed and confirmed COVID-19 infections, 7.2% reported a presumed infection, while only 0.8% had confirmed infections. The intervals between presumed infection and vaccination varied, with the majority falling within the 1\u0026ndash;3-month range.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab2\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e describes a comprehensive overview of the satisfaction levels among individuals who underwent COVID-19 vaccination in a pharmacy setting. The study, comprising 125 respondents, explores various aspects of the vaccination process, shedding light on their comfort, satisfaction, and recommendations. The majority of respondents (96%) expressed comfort with COVID vaccination being administered in a pharmacy, highlighting a high level of acceptance for pharmacies as vaccination venues. This is a crucial finding as it indicates a positive perception of pharmacies as effective and accessible points for vaccine administration. Regarding the specifics of the vaccination process, an overwhelming 98.4% of respondents were satisfied with the injection technique employed at the pharmacy. This high satisfaction rate suggests a commendable standard in the execution of the vaccination process, contributing to a positive overall experience for vaccine recipients. The preliminary discussion about COVID vaccination prior to the vaccination was positively perceived by 93.6% of respondents. This underscores the importance of effective communication and information dissemination in the vaccination process, contributing to the overall satisfaction of individuals.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn intriguing aspect explored in the survey is the perception of pharmacists/pharmacies being well-informed about COVID vaccines. A notable 47.2% strongly agreed, while an additional 44% agreed. This indicates a general vote of confidence in the knowledge and competence of pharmacists and pharmacies in providing accurate information about COVID vaccines. The study also gauged satisfaction with the premises (setting) where the vaccination took place. The data reveals a high satisfaction rate of 96.8%, reinforcing the significance of the physical environment in shaping the overall satisfaction of vaccine recipients. A noteworthy finding is that 96.8% of respondents would recommend COVID-19 vaccination at the pharmacy, showcasing a high level of confidence and trust in the pharmacy setting for administering vaccines. While the satisfaction levels are generally high across various parameters, 20% of respondents expressed a desire for changes in the current service. This signals an opportunity for pharmacies to consider and address specific aspects that may enhance the overall experience for a segment of their clientele.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab3\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e describes the motivations and considerations of the 125 respondents regarding their decision to receive the COVID-19 vaccination, shedding light on the various factors influencing their choices. The data reveals compelling insights into the multifaceted motivations driving individuals to seek vaccination at pharmacies. The primary motivation for respondents to get vaccinated was a personal commitment to reducing their risk of contracting the coronavirus, with a significant 88% affirming this motivation. This underscores a strong sense of personal responsibility and a proactive approach to health among the respondents. A notable finding is that 47.2% of respondents perceived their job as putting them at a higher risk of contracting the virus. This employment-related risk perception highlights the intersectionality of health and occupation, with individuals considering their workplace as a potential source of exposure.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother significant motivation identified in the data is the desire to protect others from potential infection, with 80% expressing this altruistic motive. This finding reflects a collective responsibility to curb the spread of the virus within communities, emphasizing the interconnectedness of individual and community health.The data also indicates that 50.4% of respondents work with individuals who need protection from coronavirus infection, such as the elderly, the sick, or nursing home residents. This underscores the role of vaccination as a means of safeguarding vulnerable populations and aligns with broader public health goals. Interestingly, a considerable proportion (84%) expressed the motivation to follow the recommendations of the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH Nigeria), highlighting the influence of official health guidelines on individual decision-making. This suggests a high level of trust and compliance with national health authorities. On the practical side, motivations related to the desire for less restriction in everyday life (84%) and the ability to travel abroad (52.8%) showcase the broader societal and lifestyle considerations that factor into the decision to get vaccinated.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoreover, the willingness of respondents to undergo annual booster vaccinations (56%) and their openness to receiving these boosters at pharmacies (57.6%) provide insights into the potential long-term engagement of individuals with vaccination services. Finally, the data reveals that only a small proportion (3.2%) of respondents conducted an antibody test before deciding to vaccinate, indicating that, for the majority, the decision to get vaccinated was not contingent on prior confirmation of immunity.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore so, Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab4\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e elucidates the reasons influencing individuals' decisions to choose a community pharmacy for their COVID-19 vaccination, offering valuable insights into the factors that contribute to the accessibility and trustworthiness of pharmacy-based vaccination services.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe data reveals that a significant proportion of respondents (45.6%) opted for the community pharmacy because it was the only vaccination center available to them. This suggests that the accessibility and availability of vaccination services play a pivotal role in individuals' choices, with community pharmacies serving as a convenient and accessible option. The alignment of community pharmacy opening hours with respondents' schedules emerged as a substantial factor, as an overwhelming 93.6% stated that the pharmacy's operating hours suited them. This finding underscores the importance of flexibility and convenience in healthcare services, as individuals seek options that align with their daily routines.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccessibility, including factors such as parking and public transport connections, emerged as a decisive factor, with an impressive 98.4% affirming that the community pharmacy was easily accessible for them. This emphasizes the role of location and convenience in the decision-making process, as individuals prioritize accessible vaccination centers. Positive past experiences played a role for a smaller proportion of respondents (13.6%), who chose the community pharmacy because of their previous positive encounters with vaccinations at the pharmacy. This suggests that a positive track record and patient satisfaction contribute to the reputation and attractiveness of pharmacy-based vaccination services. In cases where respondents' regular healthcare providers were not available or accessible, 12.8% chose the community pharmacy for their COVID-19 vaccination, highlighting the role of community pharmacies as accessible alternatives in healthcare delivery. An overwhelming majority (95.2%) of respondents expressed trust in the community pharmacy, indicating a high level of confidence in the competence and reliability of pharmacy professionals in administering vaccinations.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterestingly, nearly half of the respondents (49.6%) stated that they would have had the COVID vaccination done elsewhere if the community pharmacy was not an option. This suggests that while community pharmacies are popular choices, there is still a notable portion of the population open to alternative vaccination locations. Regarding previous vaccination experiences, 8% of respondents had received other vaccinations at a community pharmacy, with Hepatitis B vaccine, tetanus toxoid, and Yellow fever being among the mentioned vaccines. This data underscores the potential expansion of community pharmacy services beyond COVID-19 vaccination. Finally, a resounding 96.8% of respondents who had not received other vaccinations at a community pharmacy expressed their willingness to recommend the inclusion of additional vaccination services in community pharmacies. This indicates a positive perception of community pharmacies as suitable venues for a range of vaccination services.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe data presented in Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab5\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e sheds light on the occurrence of adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination, specifically focusing on symptoms such as injection site swelling, pain at the injection site, fatigue or tiredness, headache, myalgia (muscle pain), chills and rigor, increased appetite, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, fever, joint pain, bitter taste in the mouth, and other specified symptoms. For injection site swelling, 10.4% of respondents reported experiencing it after the first dose, 0.8% after the third dose, while none reported it after the second dose. Pain at the injection site was reported by 32.8% after the first dose, 3.2% after the second dose, and 1.6% after the third dose. Fatigue or tiredness was reported by 28.0% after the first dose, 1.6% after the second dose, and 1.6% after the third dose. Headache was reported by 24.8% after the first dose, 2.4% after the second dose, and 0.8% after the third dose. Myalgia occurred in 20.8% after the first dose, 1.6% after the second dose, and 0.8% after the third dose. Chills and rigor were reported by 23.2% after the first dose, 1.6% after the second dose, and 0.8% after the third dose. Increased appetite, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, fever, joint pain, and bitter taste in the mouth showed varying percentages.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding the severity of adverse events, 40.0% reported them as mild, 39.2% as no adverse effect, 7.2% as severe, and 4.0% as very severe. Encouragingly, the majority (69.6%) reported adverse events to the pharmacist who administered the vaccine. In terms of discouragement from future vaccinations, 5.6% and 4.8% answered 'yes' to whether the pharmacist's management of adverse events discouraged them from taking vaccines or vaccines at a pharmacy in the future, respectively. The majority, however, did not feel discouraged.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall, this data provides valuable insights into the prevalence, nature, and management of adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination, contributing to a nuanced understanding of the vaccine's safety profile in a community pharmacy setting. The high percentage of respondents reporting adverse events to the pharmacist indicates a level of trust and communication within the healthcare provider-patient relationship.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe qualitative data from the survey presents insights into the factors that discourage people from taking or receiving the COVID-19 vaccination, along with advice for those reluctant to take the vaccine. The responses reveal a variety of concerns and perceptions. Among the reasons for vaccine hesitancy, several respondents mentioned vaccine confidence, with one stating: \u003cem\u003e\u0026ldquo;\u003c/em\u003e\u003cb\u003eFear of expired vaccines being used, better alternatives such as local herbs, fear of elimination of Africans\u0026rdquo;.\u003c/b\u003e Misinformation and rumors, fueled by conspiracy theories and lack of transparency from the government, also contributed to vaccine hesitancy as mentioned in these quotes from the survey \u003cb\u003e\u0026ldquo;Lack of information and education about the vaccines. Rumours of negative effects of the vaccine\u0026rdquo;\u003c/b\u003e \u0026ldquo;\u003cb\u003ethe fact that the vaccine discovery and production seemed rushed\u0026rdquo;\u003c/b\u003e. Issues related to governance, doubts about the vaccine's safety, and cultural factors such as trust played a role in some individuals' decisions to avoid vaccination. Additionally, factors like ignorance, illiteracy, and reliance on false information from the internet were cited as reasons for hesitancy \u003cb\u003e\u0026ldquo; I would say because of the bad social media information\u0026rdquo; \u0026ldquo;People are scared of the infection and they have wrong information about the vaccine\u0026rdquo;.\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the other hand, the advice given to those reluctant to take the vaccine reflects a diverse range of opinions. While some emphasize the importance of getting vaccinated for health and safety - \u003cb\u003e\u0026ldquo;I would advice that they should take for I didn't experience any ill effects contrary to the propaganda amongst others\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;I encourage them that so far NAFDAC has approved it, then it is good to go\u0026rdquo; -\u003c/b\u003e others adopt a more neutral stance, suggesting that individuals should make their own choices - \u003cb\u003e\u0026ldquo;It is their choice\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;I was only mandated to take the vaccine because of my job otherwise I wouldn't have taken, so I won't encourage anyone to take it\u0026rdquo;\u003c/b\u003e. Many respondents advocate for obtaining accurate information from reliable sources and dispelling rumors - \u003cb\u003e\u0026ldquo;Avoid rumours and get vaccinated\u0026rdquo;.\u003c/b\u003e The theme of prevention being better than cure is recurrent in the advice, emphasizing the benefits of vaccination in safeguarding against the virus -\u003cb\u003e\u0026rdquo;Prevention is better than cure, it's better to take it than struggling to treat it eventually\u0026rdquo;\u003c/b\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e"},{"header":"Conclusion","content":"\u003cp\u003eThe study provides valuable insights into satisfaction levels, motivations, adverse events, and vaccine hesitancy among individuals receiving COVID-19 vaccination at pharmacies. High satisfaction and motivation were observed, driven by personal health considerations and trust in pharmacists. Adverse events, mostly mild, underscore the importance of vigilant monitoring. Vaccine hesitancy, influenced by fear, misinformation, and cultural factors, underscores the need for targeted interventions. The study highlights pharmacies' pivotal role in enhancing vaccination access and emphasizes the importance of addressing concerns to bolster vaccine uptake and public health outcomes. Pharmacists are urged to prioritize patient education and safety measures to facilitate effective vaccination campaigns and promote community health. However, as a limitation, it's noteworthy that the study was conducted solely in the Federal Capital Territory, and challenges such as numerous inactive phone numbers may have influenced the total number of patients interviewed. Hence, further research across the country, with larger, more diverse samples and longitudinal designs, is imperative to validate and expand upon these findings.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Declarations","content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEthical approval:\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe study received ethical approval from National Health Research Ethics Committee of Nigeria (NHREC) of the Federal Ministry of Health, Abuja, Nigeria with approval number NHREC/01/01/2007- 19/04/2023.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConsent to participate:\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOral informed consent was obtained from all participants prior to data collection.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConsent to publish:\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll participants consented to the publication of anonymized data.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClinical Trial Number\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot applicable.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConflict of Interest:\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors declare no conflicts of interest relevant to this work.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFunding\u003c/strong\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cstrong\u003eDeclaration\u003c/strong\u003e: This research was supported by a research grant from the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) Social and Administrative Pharmacy Section.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor Contribution\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA.A. conceptualized and designed the study, developed the methodology, coordinated project administration, and conducted the formal analysis.

A total of 125 respondents participated, with an average age of 36.62 years. The gender distribution was 54.4% male and 45.6% female, and 53.6% held graduate-level education.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSatisfaction levels were high, with 96% comfortable with pharmacy-based vaccination and 98.4% satisfied with the injection technique. Notably, 96.8% would recommend pharmacy vaccination services. Motivations included personal health protection (88%), protecting others (80%), and following health recommendations (84%).\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccessibility was a crucial factor, with 93.6% citing convenient opening hours and 98.4% highlighting easy accessibility. Trust in pharmacies was significant, with 95.2% expressing confidence in pharmacy-based vaccinations. However, 49.6% indicated they would have sought vaccination elsewhere if not available at pharmacies.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdverse events were minimal, with the most common being injection site pain (32.8% after the first dose).
