The study [1] aims to assess the safety of administering the pentavalent vaccine to infants in Nigeria by evaluating the incidence and severity of adverse events following immunization (AEFIs). The main objective is to provide local evidence via surveillance on the vaccine’s safety among infants administered in Nigerian health facilities, providing evidence that the benefits of vaccination outweigh any potential risks.

Nigeria contributes to this high prevalence of teenage motherhood, with 38.3% of girls aged ≤19 years in rural areas having children [5]. Teenage mothers are generally undernourished and less educated, which often results in severely underweight infants who experience malnutrition [6,7]. In Nigeria, the prevalence of malnutrition in children aged 0 to 5 years is substantial: 37% are diagnosed with stunting, 18% with wasting, and 29% with underweight [8].

While certain populations of Nigerian young people are at high risk of being infected with HIV, there is minimal evidence on measures to improve HIVST uptake among young people in Nigeria during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nigeria experienced five major infectious disease outbreaks during 2017, representing an unprecedented crisis for the public health system that laid bare many of the intersectoral collaboration gaps that hamper an effective public health response [1]. The existence of parallel reporting systems, authorities, and periods, along with variable case definitions challenge even the most well-intentioned and highly motivated health care workers to comply [2,3].

Behavioral Insights from Vaccine Adoption in Nigeria: Cross-Sectional Survey Findings
A recent hospital-based study in southern Nigeria found that, while most HCWs perceived themselves at risk of COVID-19, only about half were willing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine [3]. Substantial gaps between risk perception and willingness to accept a COVID-19 vaccine have been observed in the general population in northern Nigeria as well [4]. A study that interviewed over 5000 respondents across all states in Nigeria found that COVID-19 was not perceived as a threat by most respondents [5].

Nigeria is among 23 global priority countries identified by the World Health Organization (WHO). In 2019, a total of 2424 new patients with leprosy were detected in Nigeria, 15% of whom had Grade 2 disabilities (G2 Ds) [27]. Nigeria is among the few countries that reported more cases of G2 Ds in 2019 than in previous years [27]. G2 D among new patients is used as an indicator of late detection of leprosy. In addition, G2 Ds (visible impairments) often exacerbate stigma and discrimination [28,29].

In Nigeria, SH came into the limelight through the Cookey Commission panel that was established to address allegations of female students failing examinations for reasons not based on their scholastic abilities [9]. The prevalence of SH in tertiary institutions is higher in Nigeria, ranging from 68% to 80% among female participants [10-12]. The wide range of prevalence rates may reflect the use of diverse instruments to measure SH.

In an early COVID-19 modeling study, Nigeria was identified as having a high coronavirus importation risk and high vulnerability, with moderate capacity to contain the outbreak [11]. The city of Onitsha in Nigeria is a highly populated town and home to the largest market in West Africa [12,13]. This city is known for the daily influx of people and frequent international, regional, and local interactions through commerce, which can facilitate the spread of COVID-19 within and outside the city.

This is a pilot study [2] to determine the COVID-19 seroprevalence, patterns, dynamics, and risk factors in Niger State, Nigeria. The study design is a cross-sectional survey using clustered, stratified random sampling over 5 days; the prevalence was measured by detecting antibodies.
Major point: the study design uses clustered, stratified random sampling. The authors haven’t described the clusters or stratification.

Peer Review of “Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in Niger State: Pilot Cross-Sectional Study”
Of great interest is the finding that health care workers and those who had contact with persons who traveled out of Nigeria in the last 6 months are twice as likely to be at risk of being infected with the virus. The paper is relevant and contributes to the knowledge of the epidemiology of the virus. However, one primary concern is that the information about the virus from which inferences were made in this paper seems outdated. There is a need for an update.
