Factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and hesitancy in children: a comprehensive survey
The research emphasizes key factors that have a significant impact on the COVID-19 vaccination of children, such as age, previous hospitalization experiences, and parental attitudes. To boost vaccination rates in this demographic, it would be beneficial to address parental concerns regarding vaccine safety and enhance educational outreach regarding the advantages of vaccines. Public health programs should prioritize clear and open information and precise treatments to decrease vaccine reluctance.
