“…Other surveys among parents of healthy children of similar age have observed considerably higher prevalence. Indeed, the willingness towards the vaccination was 93.6% for children aged 5–8 years in Brazil [ 22 ], 87.9% among 9–11-year-olds in Canada [ 23 ], 86.75% for 3–6 years in China [ 24 ], 65.2% for children with a median age of 7.5 years in a multicenter survey in the United States, Canada, Israel, Spain, and Switzerland [ 25 ], 45.9% for those aged 5–10 years in the United States [ 26 ], and 42.9% for children with an average age of 7.4 years in Japan [ 27 ]. Moreover, prevalence of the participants that were found to be vaccine high-hesitant was higher than the value of 15.7%, reported in a study that used the PACV-15 tool in China [ 28 ], and 12.4% with the PACV-5 in Italy [ 14 ].…”

COVID-19 vaccination has been extended to include children aged 5–11 years. This cross-sectional survey evaluated parental COVID-19 vaccine willingness and hesitancy, and associated factors, for their children aged 5–11 years with chronic conditions. A telephone survey was conducted from 14 December 2021 to 4 January 2022. The questionnaire assessed participants’ socio-demographic and health-related information, attitudes towards COVID-19 infection, hesitancy, by using the PACV-5 (Parent Attitudes About Childhood Vaccines Survey Tool), and sources of information. A total of 430 answers were collected anonymously. Respondents with no cohabitant who had been infected by SARS-CoV-2 and having been vaccinated against COVID-19 had a higher concern about the severity of COVID-19. The parents’ perceived risk that the child could be infected by SARS-CoV-2 was higher in those more concerned about the severity of COVID-19, with an older child, and who had at least one cohabitant positive for COVID-19. Only 38.8% parents were willing to vaccinate their children against COVID-19. Parents who did not need additional information, those with higher education, those who have been vaccinated against COVID-19, those whose child was older, who had received information on this vaccination from physicians, with higher self-reported concern about the severity of COVID-19, and who had a higher perceived risk that their child could be infected by SARS-CoV-2, expressed a greater willingness to vaccinate their child. Overall, 26.3% were high-hesitant, with a PACV-5 score ≥ 7. Respondents who did not get the COVID-19 vaccine, were less educated, with a lower concern about severity of COVID-19, and with a lower perceived risk that their child could be infected by SARS-CoV-2, were more likely to be high-hesitant. New policies and educational programs regarding COVID-19 vaccination for children with chronic conditions are needed to reduce hesitancy and increase vaccination uptake.

“…The available studies in the US show race and ethnicity, gender, age, vaccine status, education, parents’ COVID-19 infection, and COVID-19 death exposure are associated with parents’/guardians’ intentions to vaccinate their child against COVID-19 [ 16 , 17 , 18 ]. Many published studies in the US used nonrandom samples [ 19 , 20 , 21 ], and very few peer-reviewed, representative samples surveyed parents/guardians after the EUA authorization for children 12–17. This leaves a significant gap in the literature.…”

A cross-sectional survey design was used to assess Arkansas parents’/guardians’ intentions to vaccinate their child against COVID-19. Parents/guardians whose oldest child was age 0–11 years (n = 171) or 12–17 years (n = 198) were recruited between 12 July and 30 July 2021 through random digit dialing. Among parents/guardians with an age-eligible child, age 12–17, 19% reported their child had been vaccinated, and 34% reported they would have their child vaccinated right away. Among parents/guardians with a child aged 0–11, 33% of parents/guardians reported they would have their child vaccinated right away. Twenty-eight percent (28%) of parents/guardians whose oldest child was 12–17 and 26% of parents/guardians whose oldest child was 0–11 reported they would only have their child vaccinated if their school required it; otherwise, they would definitely not vaccinate them. For both groups, parents’/guardians’ education, COVID-19 vaccination status, and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy were significantly associated with intentions to vaccinate their child. More than a third of parents/guardians whose child was eligible for vaccination at the time of the survey reported they intended to have them vaccinated right away; however, they had not vaccinated their child more than two months after approval. This finding raises questions about the remaining barriers constraining some parents/guardians from vaccinating their child.
