    In this study, a SEIR mathematical model incoporating stigmatization and vaccination is developed to asses the effect of stigma on vaccination and transmission dynamics of COVID-19. Unlike several earlier model studies on this condition, we took into account the impact of stigma on vaccination and transmission on COVID-19 .The disease free equilibrium is calculated and its stability proven using the Jacobin method,The endemic equilibrium is also evaluated and stability proven by Hurwitz criteria.The parameters are estimated using available data from the ministry of health and available literature review. Finally numerical analysis validate the prediction of the model.
