Parents' Opinions About Having Their Children Vaccinated Against COVID-19: Journal of Pediatric Infection

ABSTRACT

[...]vaccination may be an important way to reduce the delayed effects of COVID-19 infection in children. A patient with SARS-CoV-2 contact and a positive PCR (polymerase chain reaction), antigen or antibody test experiences fever, elevated inflammatory markers, and involvement of at least two systems (heart, lung, kidney, skin, hematological, gastrointestinal, and neurological). [...]COVID-19 infection now poses a serious health risk to children. [...]vaccination may be an important way to reduce the delayed effects of COVID-19 infection in children. The research questions determined for this purpose are as follows * What percentage of parents want to have their children vaccinated against COVID-19? * Based on the characteristics of the children (age, chronic disease, regular medication use, COVID-19 infection), is there a difference in the rate of parents' willingness to have their children vaccinated against COVID-19? * Based on the characteristics of the parents (level of education, family income, number of children in the family), is there a difference in the rate of willingness to have their children vaccinated against COVID-19? * Is there a difference in the rate of parents who are willing to have their children vaccinated against COVID-19 based on the vaccination history of the children (having special vaccinations within and outside the National Vaccination Schedule and experiencing side effects after vaccination)?
