Factors influencing pediatric COVID-19 vaccination uptake: a quantitative investigation in the Philippines
Key factors associated with COVID-19 pediatric vaccination uptake in the Philippines were perceived protection against COVID-19 illness, government mandated regulations and healthcare worker recommendations, while non-vaccination was associated with safety concerns, and children's age and preference to not be vaccinated. Understanding the social and behavioral drivers among caregivers may help policy decision-makers and implementers develop targeted interventions to enhance uptake of COVID-19 and routine childhood vaccines.
