Keywords:
COVID-19, COVID-19 vaccine, acceptance towards vaccines, attitude towards vaccineAbstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine how parents accepted and viewed COVID-19 vaccine for their children. Methods: A descriptive observational research design based on a cross-sectional survey was employed in this study. The participants in this study were parents of children under the age of eighteen. The questionnaire used in this study was adapted from a study titled " Attitudes of Parents with Regard to Vaccination of Children against COVID-19 in Poland". Data was gathered through sending survey over the internet and through social media. Results: The total number of final samples available for this investigation is 106. Several factors can influence parental acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine for children, including the age of the child, whether or not parents have seen a COVID-19 vaccination campaign for adults, whether COVID-19 vaccination is mandatory for children, the level of knowledge of parents about COVID-19 vaccination for children, and parents' opinions about the danger of COVID-19 vaccination for children. The probability of vaccinating children against COVID-19 is positively related to the level of parental information regarding COVID-19 vaccination for children. Implications: The result of this study are expected to be used to improve parent education regarding the COVID-19 vaccine.
