Abstract：
BACKGROUND: There are giant steps taken in the introduction of the novel malaria vaccine poised towards reducing mortality and morbidity associated with malaria.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the knowledge of malaria vaccine and factors militating against willingness to accept the vaccine among mothers presenting in nine hospitals in Enugu metropolis.
METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study carried out among 491 mothers who presented with their children in nine hospitals in Enugu metropolis, South-East Nigeria. A pre-tested and interviewer-administered questionnaire was used in this study.
RESULTS: A majority of the respondents, 72.1% were aware of malaria vaccine. A majority of the respondents, 83.1% were willing to receive malaria vaccine. Similarly, a majority of the mothers, 92.9%, were willing to vaccinate baby with the malaria vaccine, while 81.1% were willing to vaccinate self and baby with the malaria vaccine. The subjects who belong to the low socio-economic class were five times less likely to vaccinate self and baby with malaria vaccine when compared with those who were in the high socio-economic class (AOR = 0.2, 95% CI 0.1-0.5). Mothers who had good knowledge of malaria vaccination were 3.3 times more likely to vaccinate self and baby with malaria vaccine when compared with those who had poor knowledge of malaria vaccination (AOR = 3.3, 95% CI 1-6-6.8).
CONCLUSIONS: Although the study documented a high vaccine acceptance among the mothers, there exists a poor knowledge of the malaria vaccine among them.

摘要：
背景：在引入新型疟疾疫苗方面采取了巨大的步骤，有望降低与疟疾相关的死亡率和发病率。
目的：本研究旨在确定在Enugu大都市的9家医院就诊的母亲对疟疾疫苗的了解以及影响接受该疫苗意愿的因素。
方法：这是一项横断面研究，在Enugu大都会的9家医院中，对491名母亲进行了带孩子的护理。尼日利亚东南部。在这项研究中使用了预先测试和面试官管理的问卷。
结果：大多数受访者，72.1%的人知道疟疾疫苗。大多数受访者,83.1%的人愿意接种疟疾疫苗。同样，大多数母亲，92.9%,愿意给婴儿接种疟疾疫苗，而81.1%的人愿意为自己和婴儿接种疟疾疫苗。与高社会经济类别的受试者相比，属于低社会经济类别的受试者为自我和婴儿接种疟疾疫苗的可能性低五倍（AOR=0.2，95％CI0.1-0.5）。与对疟疾疫苗接种缺乏知识的母亲相比，对疟疾疫苗接种有良好知识的母亲对自我和婴儿接种疟疾疫苗的可能性要高3.3倍（AOR=3.3，95％CI1-6-6.8）。
结论：尽管该研究表明母亲对疫苗的接受度很高，其中存在对疟疾疫苗的了解不足。
