“…Recent studies suggest that individuals move along a spectrum of vaccine adoption and refusal, making decisions based on contexts including lived experiences and personal motivating factors ( Eichelberger et al, 2023 ). Hesitant adopters are described as “individuals who express some level of hesitancy about the vaccine but have also received at least one dose of the vaccine” ( Moore et al, 2022 , p.1 abstract).…”

“…We define vaccine hesitancy as an attitude or orientation to avoid conflating vaccine hesitancy with vaccination behaviors [ 10 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]. Emerging research has shown that an individual may be vaccine hesitant and also choose to receive a vaccine [ 10 , 14 , 15 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. These individuals are hesitant adopters [ 15 , 17 , 27 ].…”

COVID-19 vaccine coverage remains low for US children, especially among those living in rural areas and the Southern/Southeastern US. As of 12 September 2023, the CDC recommended bivalent booster doses for everyone 6 months and older. Emerging research has shown an individual may be vaccine hesitant and also choose to receive a vaccine for themselves or their child(ren); however, little is known regarding how hesitant adopters evaluate COVID-19 booster vaccinations. We used an exploratory qualitative descriptive study design and conducted individual interviews with COVID-19 vaccine-hesitant adopter parents (n = 20) to explore COVID-19 parental intentions to have children receive COVID-19 boosters. Three primary themes emerged during the analysis: risk, confidence, and intent, with risk assessments from COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccine confidence often related to an individual parent’s intent to vaccinate. We also found links among individuals with persistent concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine and low COVID-19 vaccine confidence with conditional and/or low/no intent and refusal to receive recommended boosters for children. Our findings suggest that healthcare providers and public health officials should continue making strong recommendations for vaccines, continue to address parental concerns, and provide strong evidence for vaccine safety and efficacy even among the vaccinated.
