Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The prevailing unwillingness to accept COVID-19 vaccination among the eligible population has been a serious setback in Nigeria\'s bid to reach herd immunity against the pandemic.
UNASSIGNED: We assessed the impact of a multidisciplinary health communication intervention (MHCI) on willingness to accept COVID-19 vaccination among eligible unvaccinated community dwellers (EUCD) in Nsukka Urban, Enugu State, Nigeria.
UNASSIGNED: Through a quasi-experiment that adopted a pre-test, post-test, non-control group design, we studied a total of 85 eligible unvaccinated adults. A researcher-designed \"Willingness to Accept COVID-19 Vaccination Questionnaire\" was the instrument used for data collection. The data gathered was analysed by means of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0. Specifically, descriptive and inferential statistics were used to test the formulated research questions and the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance.
UNASSIGNED: We found that the mean scores of willingness to accept COVID-19 vaccination increased significantly after the treatment. There was no significant interaction effect of gender, level of education, and age on the mean of willingness to accept COVID-19 vaccination scores of EUCD after MHCI.
UNASSIGNED: The study established that MHCI is impactful in bolstering the willingness to accept COVID-19 vaccination. The Nigerian government should adopt and implement this intervention in schools, communities, and other institutions in order to attain herd immunity in Nigeria.

摘要：
■在合格人群中普遍不愿意接受COVID-19疫苗接种，这是尼日利亚争取实现群体对这一流行病的免疫力的严重挫折。
我们评估了多学科健康沟通干预（MHCI）对NsukkaUrban合格未接种疫苗的社区居民（EUCD）接受COVID-19疫苗接种意愿的影响，埃努古州，尼日利亚。
■通过采用预先测试的准实验，测试后,非控制组设计，我们共研究了85名符合条件的未接种疫苗的成年人.研究人员设计的“接受COVID-19疫苗接种问卷的意愿”是用于数据收集的工具。收集的数据通过社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）23.0版进行了分析。具体来说,使用描述性和推断性统计来检验制定的研究问题和0.05显著性水平的假设。
■我们发现接受COVID-19疫苗接种意愿的平均得分在治疗后显著增加。性别没有显著的交互作用,教育水平,和年龄与MHCI后接受EUCDCOVID-19疫苗接种评分的意愿有关。
■该研究确定MHCI在支持接受COVID-19疫苗接种的意愿方面具有影响力。尼日利亚政府应该在学校采取和实施这种干预措施，社区,和其他机构，以便在尼日利亚获得群体豁免权。
