Given the persisting waves of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among Americans, it is recommended that children take the COVID-19 vaccines to reduce its transmission. However...uptake... among children continues to be low.
A new study published in Preventive Medicine reports the results of a survey among parents in this country aimed at identifying the primary risk factors for parental vaccine hesitancy.
...
Female parents were more likely to refuse to vaccinate their children, especially if they were Black – possibly due to a lack of trust in the political and medical system. Those who favored Republican ideology were also six times more likely to refuse than those leaning the other way. This indicates the need to broadcast a uniform message, irrespective of party lines, about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.
Other risk factors included being an essential worker but not in healthcare, having a history of COVID-19, and not having taken the COVID-19 shot or flu shot. Parents who survived COVID-19 may have been more likely to downplay its severity, especially when compared to the unknown consequences of the vaccines.
Vaccination status, whether the parent and/or child had COVID-19 earlier, and the experience during the infection, all played a role. Parents who refused the vaccine had children who were more likely to be younger and to have escaped COVID-19 so far. They were also less likely to have had the seasonal flu shot.
...
Among vaccine-willing parents, the two factors that drove the vaccine choice were the associated severe adverse effects and vaccine effectiveness. The most common reasons included fear of long-term health consequences and a perception that the vaccine was too new.
The duration of protection offered was also important, while relatively minor factors included the risk of hospitalization among the unvaccinated COVID-19 pediatric patients and local vaccine uptake rates.

(The answer is “no” to the title question.)
“Are The Kids Ok?”

She did say she would “do it again.”
Maybe her next booster will freeze the other side of her face making her face symmetrical again.
“What’s Going On? Vol. 8 👀”
The reason for the “hesitancy” is the fact that nobody is afraid of their child catching Covid19. If they do catch it is a nothingburger - a cold.
Vaccinating against such a low risk virus is stupid.
Calling people “hesitant” because they choose not to do something stupid is disingenuous. It’s like calling people who are repulsed by the idea of male/male sodomy “homophobic”.
It’s not a phobia - we aren’t afraid of it - we are repulsed by it - because we are normal.
We don't have children wear bicycle helmets when they're sleeping because there's negligible risk they'll crash their bicycle while sleeping, same thing with covid.
Uhm, it is as am and a shit medical product?
“The most common reasons included fear of long-term health consequences and a perception that the vaccine was too new.”
i WOULD STAY AWAY FROM THIS QUACK DOCTOR.
You are a true COVIDiot. Take as many clot shots as you can. You will not be missed.
So, how many boosters have you taken doodledork?
Uhm, sorry. The previous comment was for Doodledork.the COVIDiot.
I think that you have misinterpreted DoodleBob's position on COVID.
I think that he is actually against mandatory vaxxination. His saying that "Covid was on the Death Certificate" is a plain statement of fact - but we all know that such a statistic belies the true nature of the situation (i.e., that comorbidities were routinely ignored).
Regards,
Follow the money.
“Risk factors” for a fabricated malady of “vaccine hesitancy”?
I’ll tell them why. They’ve lied to us too much about covid everything, to ever trust them on ANYTHING, ever again.
They can take their faux concern over “vaccine hesitancy” and stuff it. It’s not hesitancy. I am not undecided or unsure.
I. DON’T. TRUST. THEM. Period.
Hmmmm ... I wonder why I would refuse a vax recommendation from people who act like the phrase “natural immunity” doesn’t even exist?
Disingenuous use of the English language.
It’s not simply “perception” that the vax is too new.
It’s a fact.
Nor are long term consequences known yet as the vax is indeed too new.
It’s not “vaccine hesitancy” to avoid making a guinea pig of yourself to satisfy some diktator wannabe’s lust for power and money. It’s wisdom.
>> This entire treatise is pure propaganda. Its purpose is to make a rational decision look like some sort of adverse psychological condition. The very language used is devoted to manipulation.
Well stated. And that language was eventually echoed by half the adult population — “don’t be selfish”, “be a team player”, etc
Correct, discretionary thinking was marginalized. And unfortunately, many here at FR participated in ridiculing those that are/were “vaccine hesitant”. Their vaxx commitment is unfortunately paramount to objectivity and humility.
BUMP
Quack
Since the vaccines do not reduce transmission, I don't trust anything this "doctor" says.
