“…The PACV questionnaire was applied in seven studies, encompassing a total of 5694 parents/caregivers in the countries of Italy [ 29 ], India [ 30 , 31 ], the USA [ 32 ], Canada [ 33 ], and Turkey [ 34 , 35 , 36 ]. The highest number of studies utilized the WHO SAGE VHS, with eight studies involving a sample size of 10,417 parents/caregivers from Pakistan [ 37 ], India [ 38 , 39 ], Cameroon [ 40 ], Ethiopia [ 41 ], China [ 42 ], France [ 43 ], and the Philippines [ 44 ]. A study conducted across 18 European countries employed a survey based on two sources, PACV and WHO SAGE VHS, with the participation of 5736 parents/caregivers [ 45 ].…”

“…Additionally, the 5C+ Model, used to measure vaccine hesitancy, incorporates dimensions such as confidence, complacency, constraints, calculation, and collective responsibility, particularly in relation to identifying psychological barriers to vaccination behavior. Valid instruments for assessing adherence [ 38 ] and willingness [ 39 ] for these vaccines are also available. However, our objective did not encompass these factors, and the studies we scrutinized primarily investigated hesitancy concerning childhood vaccinations.…”

Routine vaccine hesitancy is a major global health challenge observed in over 190 countries worldwide. This meta-analysis aims to determine the worldwide prevalence of routine vaccination hesitancy among parents of children aged 0–6. An extensive search was conducted in four scientific databases: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. Studies were included if they reported hesitancy related to WHO-recommended routine immunizations for children under 7 years of age. A single-arm meta-analysis was performed using the OpenMeta[Analyst] software. An initial search retrieved 5121 articles, of which only 23 publications, involving 29,131 parents, guardians, and caregivers from over 30 countries met the inclusion criteria and quality assessment. The cumulative prevalence of parental vaccine hesitancy was found to be 21.1% (95% CI = 17.5–24.7%, I2 = 98.86%, p < 0.001). When stratifying the prevalence of vaccine hesitancy per WHO region, significant variations were observed, ranging from 13.3% (95% CI = 6.7–19.9%, I2 = 97.72%, p < 0.001) in the Region of the Americas to 27.9% (95% CI = 24.3–31.4%) in the Eastern Mediterranean region. The study findings highlight the need for healthcare providers and governments to develop and improve comprehensive programs with communication strategies to reduce parental vaccine hesitancy.

“…15 WHO also firmly states that vaccine hesitancy is one of the global health threats in the future. 3,16 The effectiveness of immunization in providing optimal protection will be obtained when children receive certain antigens in stages according to disease types and age. Immunization status is declared complete when the child receives all antigens according to the provisions, including booster immunization.…”

Background: Immunization status is considered complete when children receive all antigens types as recommended, including booster immunization, ensuring optimal protection. The high level of non-adherence is the main obstacle to immunization programs, further added by the fact that the number of children who receive partial or no immunization remains high. This study aims to analyze the correlation between behavioral and psychological factors with booster immunization adherence in children aged <24 months.Method: A quantitative study with a cross-sectional approach. The population consists of parents with children aged 18-23 months, totaling a sample of 522 children. The data were collected through interviews using structured questionnaires, and observations using MCH-Book to measure booster immunization adherence. The collected data was analyzed through univariate, bivariate, and multivariate approaches with multiple logistic regression tests to identify the dominant variables.Results: Only 25.9% of children received two types of recommended booster vaccines (DPT/HB/HiB-4 and MR-2). Partially, behavioral factors that correlate with booster immunization adherence are knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions about multiple injections, while psychological factors that correlate are motivation and basic immunization status. Experience with previous basic immunization status is the most dominant factor influencing booster immunization adherence. The fear of disease infection and trust in healthcare providers are the keys to a successful immunization. Need to increase motivation through strengthening literacy and improving access to and health service system to reduce hesitation about, distrust, and refusal of immunization, while also providing a positive immunization experience.

In Saudi Arabia, the Ministry of Health (MoH) has implemented strict rules to ensure COVID-19 vaccination uptake by the general public. However, there is hesitancy about COVID-19 vaccination among parents for their children worldwide. We aimed to determine the concerns, behaviors, perceptions, and hesitancy of COVID-19 vaccination among parents for their children in Saudi Arabia. Parents of children aged 5–11 years were included in this cross-sectional study. A total of 1507 responses were obtained using the convenience sampling technique. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0 by applying descriptive and inferential statistics. Of the parents who responded, 74.5% believed that the COVID-19 vaccination could affect the genes of children, and 72.8% believed that the COVID-19 vaccination could have a greater number of positive impacts on the overall health of children. In total, 87% of the parents were satisfied with the vaccination services and effective policies of the MoH, Saudi Arabia. This study concluded that there is a greater need to increase public awareness regarding the beneficial impact of COVID-19 vaccination on the overall health of children. Effective awareness campaigns are also required to provide empirical information to the public that COVID-19 vaccination for children is safe and effective.
