Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at heightened risk due to occupational exposure, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, where HBV prevalence and health system limitations compound their vulnerability. Despite the availability of an effective vaccine, adherence to the three-dose HBV vaccination schedule among HCWs in Nigeria remains suboptimal. This study seeks to explore the psychosocial and digital factors influencing non-adherence to the HBV vaccination schedule among HCWs in Nigeria, with the aim of informing more targeted and effective interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methodology<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 530 healthcare workers at FMC Keffi to assess Hepatitis B vaccine uptake and its determinants. Data were collected using a structured, pre-validated questionnaire covering vaccination status, knowledge, attitudes, barriers, and digital access. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, binary logistic regression, mediation (PROCESS Model 4), and moderation analyses. These methods evaluated the direct and indirect effects of knowledge, attitudes, occupational exposure, and digital intervention beliefs on vaccine adherence, with gender assessed as a moderating variable.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results and discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among 530 healthcare workers at FMC Keffi, only 19.4% were fully vaccinated against Hepatitis B, while 72.6% had received at least two doses. Mediation analysis showed that knowledge had no significant direct or indirect effect on vaccine uptake (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.21), whereas attitude was a strong predictor (\n                      <jats:italic>B<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009\u2212\u20099.85,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
