Although immunization coverage is reported administratively across the world, no similarly robust monitoring system exists for vaccine confidence and acceptance. In this study, COVID-19 vaccine uptake will be mapped across 3 geopolitical zones in Nigeria. This study is aimed at determining and comparing the relationship between political trust and vaccine uptake in 3 geo-political zones in Nigeria in addition to establishing the factors leading to the current COVID-19 uptake and acceptability in the 3 geo-political areas under review. A cross-sectional study design was utilized, to quantify the prevalence of different views on COVID-19 vaccine acceptability, access, and political trust. The data was gathered utilizing a self-administered and online questionnaire, which were analyzed utilizing IBM SPSS version 23 software. Descriptive statistical tools were adequately employed to make sense of the data in addition to the grouping of responses from the interviews. The research found that there is little trust in COVID-19 vaccine in the southeastern part of Nigeria with 55.2% of the respondents from Southeast not accepting its safety as it is provided by the Nigerian Government. The Southwestern part had majority of trust in the vaccine (85.9%) while the Northern part of Nigeria seem to be marginally trusting in the safety of the vaccine with 56.4% agreeing to its safety. From the results, 83.3% of Southwestern respondents obliged to receiving a vaccine produced in Nigeria while 51.1% of Northeastern respondents agreed too, unlike the 36.4% of the Southeastern respondents. There is a significant statistical relationship between political trust and COVID-19 vaccine uptake. It was also discovered that there is a statistically significant relationship in the uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine in the 3 geopolitical zones in Nigeria.},
