The attitude of the unvaccinated children’s parents toward pediatric COVID-19 vaccination in Tabriz, Iran
Parents' willingness to vaccinate their children against COVID-19 in Tabriz was low, primarily due to concerns about the potential side effects of the vaccine. To address this issue, culturally sensitive public health campaigns should be designed that specifically target these concerns and involve trusted community figures. These initiatives could help reduce vaccine hesitancy, particularly among mothers and parents of children with underlying health conditions.
