A US survey of over 1,100 parents has found that hesitancy to vaccinate children against COVID-19 differs by race and ethnicity, gender, education level, previous experience with COVID-19 and a child’s age. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the team found that parents who were hesitant to be vaccinated themselves were also hesitant to vaccinate their children, but vaccinated parents also reported concerns. Black and Hispanic parents showed lower willingness to immediately vaccinate their children when compared with non-Hispanic white parents, women, younger parents and those without a college education. The team also found those who had experienced the effects of COVID-19 first-hand were more willing to vaccinate their children.
