HPV Vaccine Rollout and Uptake in Nigeria: A Mixed-Methods Study

A mixed-methods study of the early implementation of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in Nigeria. The research includes quantitative data on vaccine availability and uptake across 52 facilities in five states over 4 months, supplemented by qualitative interviews with healthcare workers. The dataset was authored by Gbemisola T. Olubayo and last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing geographic and facility-level disparities in vaccine availability based on state-level comparisons mentioned in the description.
• Modeling factors influencing vaccine uptake based on qualitative themes like community trust and health worker endorsement.
• Evaluating the impact of training and outreach models on frontline preparedness for vaccine delivery.
• Studying the role of sociocultural barriers and household power dynamics in public health program implementation.

Strengths

• Includes data from 52 health facilities across five Nigerian states (Oyo, Jigawa, Kano, Lagos, and Rivers).
• Combines quantitative metrics (e.g., 0-308 doses per facility over 4 months) with qualitative insights from healthcare worker interviews.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for broad reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 20.2 KB DOCX file, suggesting it is a document summary rather than a raw, structured data table.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred from the study description.
• Data reflects a specific 4-month early implementation period in selected Nigerian states and may not be generalizable.
