“…Awareness campaigns and distribution of leaflets about vaccination have positive effects and are critical in changing the attitudes of parents toward vaccinating their children (Meharry et al, 2014; Wong et al, 2016). Also, individual stories from COVID-19 patients and positive experiences of vaccinated people could promote positive attitude of parents towards vaccination (Kunitoki et al, 2021).…”

“…Vaccine hesitancy today is a major public health issue and is mainly due to a lack of trust. It is essential to develop a fruitful dialogue between citizens, scientists, policymakers and the government, so as to create a relationship of trust and to implement up-to-date health policies on COVID-19 vaccination (Kunitoki et al, 2021). Furthermore, the role of the mass media is particularly important, as the spread of fake news reduces both confidence in COVID-19 vaccines and the intention to vaccinate (Montagni et al, 2021).…”

Background: As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to threaten public health, the vaccination of children against the disease appears to be a key factor to control the pandemic. Objective: To investigate the prevalence of parents who have vaccinated their children against the COVID-19 and the factors influencing this decision. Methods: We conducted a web-based cross-sectional study in Greece during the first week of September 2021. The study questionnaire was distributed through social media and a convenience sample was obtained. Only parents with children aged 12-17 years old could participate in the study. We collected socio-demographic data of parents and we measured their attitudes towards vaccination and COVID-19 pandemic. Results: Study population included 656 parents. Mean age of parents was 45.5 years, while most of them were mothers with a high level of education. Regarding vaccination, 27.1% of parents had their children vaccinated against the COVID-19, while almost all children had a complete vaccination history (98.9%). The most important reasons for decline of COVID-19 vaccination were doubts about the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines (45.3%) and fear of side effects (36.6%). Regarding the information about the COVID-19 vaccines, parents showed more trust in family doctors than in scientists and the government. Multivariate regression analysis identified that increased parents age, increased trust in COVID-19 vaccines, and positive attitude of parents towards vaccination had a positive effect on children vaccination. Conclusions: Understanding the factors influencing parents' decision to vaccinate their children against the COVID-19 is crucial to increase the COVID-19 vaccination coverage rate. Implementation of public health policies is necessary to spread knowledge about COVID-19 vaccines and to regain vaccine confidence.

“…More and more studies have proven that low trust in vaccines has become a universal phenomenon, regardless of the region of the world and type of vaccine [1][2][3]. Particularly intense public debate on vaccines efficacy and safety has been (and still is) visible during the COVID-19 pandemic.…”
