Association of parental education with adolescents' COVID-19 vaccine uptake: A nationwide register-based study in Finland
Parental education was a strong predictor of adolescents' COVID-19 vaccine uptake in Finland. Parental vaccination status emerged as an important mediator of the association, possibly indicating general vaccine hesitancy. Other factors behind the educational differences included household income, migration background, and parental age.
