Sociodemographic Factors Associated with Vaccine Hesitancy in Central Texas Immediately Prior to COVID-19 Vaccine Availability

John R. Litaker et al.

Summary: This paper focuses on vaccine hesitancy in Central Texas before the release of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. The study found that sociodemographic factors associated with vaccine hesitancy included being Black or African American, female, aged 35-49, having an annual household income of less than US$10,000, having a high school education or less, and having a high school education but less than a 4-year college degree. The real-world evidence provided by individuals on their plans to get vaccinated can reveal heterogeneity in COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy.

Vaccine Hesitancy in the Time of COVID-19: Attitudes and Intentions of Teens and Parents Regarding the COVID-19 Vaccine

Amy B. Middleman et al.

Summary: By surveying adolescents and their parents, we found that parental concerns about vaccine safety increased significantly before and after the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine. Social media negatively influenced opinions about vaccine safety. Demographic variables were associated with vaccination rates, highlighting inequalities in vaccine access. Most parents supported simultaneous COVID-19 vaccination with other vaccines. Addressing vaccine hesitancy is crucial for increasing COVID-19 vaccine coverage rates.

Adults' Acceptance of COVID-19 Vaccine for Children in Selected Lower- and Middle-Income Countries

Suzanna Awang Bono et al.

Summary: Through an online survey conducted in lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs), it was found that a majority of participants showed willingness to vaccinate their children with a COVID-19 vaccine. Factors such as higher education, greater knowledge of COVID-19, increased fear/worry of infection, and belief in the importance of COVID-19 vaccination for protecting others were associated with higher willingness to vaccinate children. Vaccinating children against COVID-19 can help limit the spread of the virus, particularly in school settings, and mitigate the negative impact of school closures on child development.

Is there a role for childhood vaccination against COVID-19?

Christiane Sigrid Eberhardt et al.

Summary: Efforts are being made to develop COVID-19 vaccines quickly to protect vulnerable individuals and limit the impacts of the pandemic. The low incidence and severity of COVID-19 in children raise questions about the need for childhood vaccination, with vaccines needing to demonstrate safety and efficacy in preventing complications and transmission. The pandemic has also negatively affected routine childhood vaccine coverage, necessitating action to prevent a rise in vaccine-preventable diseases.

Caregiver Willingness to Vaccinate Their Children against COVID-19 after Adult Vaccine Approval

Ran D. Goldman et al.

Summary: Despite vaccine approval for adults, fewer caregivers planned to vaccinate their children against COVID-19 compared to what was reported at the peak of the pandemic. The most significant positive predictor of willingness to vaccinate against COVID-19 was if the child was vaccinated per recommended local schedules. Older caregivers who fully vaccinated their children were more likely to adopt vaccinating children, which could inform target strategy design to implement adherence to a vaccination campaign.

Summary: The study found that the majority of Bangladeshi adults expressed willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, with students and those with normal body weights showing a higher inclination towards vaccination. Additionally, individuals with higher levels of perceived risk, benefits, and cues to action, along with lower levels of barriers and self-efficacy, were more likely to seek vaccination. Concerns about future vaccine side effects were the most common reason for COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy.

Intention of Parents to Immunize Children against SARS-CoV-2 in Italy

Luisa Russo et al.

Summary: A study in Italy found that a significant portion of families expressed negative or uncertain attitudes towards vaccinating children aged 12 years and above, as well as those under 12 years. Determinants of vaccination intention included perceived safety and efficacy of vaccines, perceived risk of transmitting infection, and perceived risk of being infected and hospitalized due to COVID-19 for younger children. The study calls for targeted communication strategies focusing on the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines in children and the dynamics of infection spread across different age groups.

Attitudes and Commitment Toward Precautionary Measures Against COVID-19 Amongst the Jordanian Population: A Large-Scale Cross-Sectional Survey

Moawiah Khatatbeh et al.

Summary: The study found that the majority of participants in Jordan believed that face masks are effective against COVID-19, but their commitment to non-pharmaceutical interventions such as wearing masks, handwashing, and social distancing was suboptimal. Factors associated with an increased odds of contracting COVID-19 among participants included female gender, having a family member infected with COVID-19, working/studying in a health-related field, disbelief in the effectiveness of masks, and partial commitment to handwashing. Efforts are needed to promote health awareness and implement strict policies to prevent future waves of infection in the country.
