Physician Practices, Attitudes, and Challenges Related to Pediatric COVID-19 Vaccination in the United States
Most physicians reported offering the COVID-19 vaccine to their pediatric patients but reported that low parental demand posed challenges to achieving high pediatric COVID-19 vaccination coverage. Although physician confidence in COVID-19 vaccine safety was fairly high overall, improved confidence may increase the likelihood of a strong physician recommendation, leading to higher parental demand and uptake.
