Abstract
The investigation centered on†Residents’ response to Covid-19 vaccination in selected Communities in Enugu State, Nigeria†. The controversy of Covid-19 vaccination made it difficult for the acceptance of the vaccine and residents were thrown into lots of confusions and this hindered the progress intended for the prevention of Covid-19 spread in this region. The general objective looked at residents’ response to Covid-19 vaccination. It is a survey of 150 respondents. The work was anchored on health belief model. The data was analysed using the SPSS 22.5 version. Data was presented on tables and charts showing the relatedness of the variables examined. Result showed there was moderate response to jabs and the death toll compelled many to take the vaccine despite the controversies trailing the vaccine. Many people are afraid of taking the Covid-19 vaccine majorly because the side effects trickling online especially amongst health workers. Despite the media advocacies on the safety of the vaccine, people are still skeptical of the possible side effects of the injection. Most respondents are not willing to get vaccinated even if the government gets involved and makes the injection compulsory.
