Objective To investigate Chinese guardians’ willingness to vaccinate teenagers (WVT) against COVID-19, we conducted a national wide survey in 31 provinces in mainland China. Methods We involved 16133 guardians from 31 provinces in Chinese Mainland from August 6th to 9th, 2021. The question “Are you willing to vaccinate teenagers of COVID-19 vaccine?” was designed to capture WVT. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) for potential factors of WVT were estimated using multiple logistic regression models. Results In total, 13327 (82.61%) of the respondents expressed positive WVT, 12.90% of the respondents were uncertain but inclined to vaccinate their teenagers. Meanwhile, 3.89% of the respondents were uncertain and inclined to reject, and 0.60% of the respondents rejected the vaccines. After adjusting for potential confounders, the married, total family income last year, reject to Categoly1 vaccines, access information about the COVID-19 vaccines from community workers, low COVID-19 vaccine conspiracy, guardian's vaccination behavior, and the importance of vaccinating teenagers were all independent factors that affected the guardians' likely to accept. Further, the current study found that lower trust in doctors and vaccine developers was associated with negative WVT. The reasons for negative WVT included teenagers’ young age and guardians’ worries on the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines. Conclusion This large-scale study assessed Chinese guardians’ WVT against COVID-19, as well as its potential influencing factors, which is useful for international and national decision-makers.

Background Vaccine hesitancy among parents directly affects the child's vaccination status, since they are the legal decision-makers regarding vaccinating their children. The study aimed to describe the perceptions of Kazakhstani mothers about routine childhood vaccination. Methods The study utilized a descriptive phenomenological study to describe mothers' perceptions of childhood vaccination in Kazakhstan. A purposive sample of 95 participants comprehensively answered the free-text questions in an online self-administered questionnaire from January to February 2023. The analysis of the free-text responses followed a thematic analysis approach. Results The in-depth analysis of the data, 285 initial codes were extracted. The combination of similar meanings and concept codes leads to 19 categories and finally arriving at four significant themes: misconceptions about childhood vaccination, fear of the vaccine's effect on children, distrust of the health care system, and social learning factors. Conclusions The themes related to the perceptions of Kazakh mother mothers about childhood vaccination may lead to behaviors of delaying and refusing some or all childhood vaccines. Therefore, motivational and educational strategies can be used by healthcare providers to instill trust in parents about childhood vaccines and their safety and effectiveness.
