Newborn RSV immunization rates and reasons compared to family COVID-19 and influenza immunization status

Parental acceptance of RSV immunization was driven by protective instincts for newborns and familiarity with RSV as a disease. Hesitancy toward COVID-19 vaccination stemmed largely from concerns about effectiveness and confusion around immunization/vaccine purpose. Trust in medical professionals influenced decision-making, though participants lacked a consistent source of immunization information. Improved public education on immunization efficacy and centralized access to trustworthy information may enhance immunization uptake and address ongoing hesitancy across all pediatric immunizations.
