Abstract

Yellow fever still represents a major public health threat in Africa largely due to inadequate vaccine supply, insufficient vaccine coverage, increase in people without of vaccination living in endemic areas and occupation of individuals. The aim of this study was  to assess the acceptability to yellow fever vaccination among skilled and unskilled workers in selected African countries. This cross sectional online survey was carried out between 19 January 2022 and 31 December 2022, in five African countries (Cameroon, Egypt, Nigeria, Sudan and the Gambia). The responses to the survey were collected by Survey Monkey and the links were distributed via Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp. Data were collected using self-administered structured questionnaire, and analysed. A total of 1340 respondents (601 skilled workers, 739 unskilled workers) participated in the survey of which 616 of them indicated had yellow fever vaccination. Proportion of the unskilled workers with history of vaccination was less than those of the skilled workers (35.5% vs 58.9%). Location (OR=31.04, p=0.000), age (OR=146.95, p=0.001), religion (OR=24.42, p=0.012), education (OR=116.41, p=0.001), marital status (OR=68.83, p=0.001) and monthly household income (OR=87.62, p=0.001)  were significantly associated with acceptance to receive  YF vaccine. In addition, more of the skilled workers were very willing to receive the YF vaccine compared to their unskilled counterparts (p0.001). This study suggests that unskilled workers are less likely to be vaccinated against yellow fever than skilled workers, hence the need for strategic public health interventions to reach this category of people in the society.

Abstract

Ocular infections have been associated with bacterial contamination of eyeglasses. This study assessed bacterial contaminants associated with the eyeglasses of the staff and students of Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State, Nigeria. A total of 100 participants comprising 33 males and 67 females (aged 16-76 years) were recruited for the study after obtained the written informed consents. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the demographic and clinical information. A total of 100 eyeglasses were examined for bacterial contamination using standard bacteriological methods. A one–way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey–Kramer multiple comparisons test were used to determine the differences between the bacterial loads among the eyeglasses of study participants. We found that the percentage of eyeglass lenses with unacceptable levels of contamination (105CFU/mL) and acceptable levels of contamination were 19% and 46%, respectively. The percentages of eyeglass handles with unacceptable and accepted level of contamination were 49% and 7%, respectively. Most of the isolated bacteria were sensitive to the tested antibiotics. Risk factors associated with bacterial contamination of eyeglasses were exposure to dusty environment, irregular cleaning, and poor compliance with eyeglass care guidelines. Our study further underscores the claim that eyes glasses may serve as potential vehicles for bacteria capable of causing ocular infections.
