With children under 5 now the only group not yet eligible for vaccination against COVID-19, many parents have been vocal about their frustration pertaining to the delayed authorization process and rollout.
However, a new KFF COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor survey has found that less than a fifth of parents with children under the age 5 -- 18% -- reported that they are eager to get their child vaccinated right away.
More than a third of parents -- 38% -- said that they plan to wait in order to see how the vaccine works for others, while 27% of parents reported that they will "definitely not" get their child vaccinated, and another 11% stating that they will only do so if required.
More than half of parents said they feel that they do not have enough information about the vaccines' safety and efficacy for children under 5 years of age.
The initial reluctance from parents of young children mirrors a similar trend to that seen with parents of older children and adolescents. Just under 26 million children ages 5 to 17 -- or a little less than half of those eligible -- remain completely unvaccinated, according to federal data. Overall, 43.2% of eligible children have been fully vaccinated, and when broken down further by age, just 28.8% of children ages 5 to 11 have been fully vaccinated.

I love statistics. My favorite is 50% of Americans have below average intelligence. Makes you think about the intersection of low intelligence and Biden supporters.
Good, and where have our VaxxTards gone?
Under the Pareto Optimal Rule I would expect AT LEAST 20 percent. This is good news.
Um, they passed away unexpectedly. RIP.
It’s killing and injuring kids, what parent in their right mind would inject their children with that poison?
safe and effective :)
Apparently, 18% of parents are absolute morons.
There should not be parental rights for this.
Yes, they say that the vaccine produces a strong antibody reaction. But, don’t young kids already HAVE a strong immune system that will react naturally?
What is this 18% vaccinating against........am I missing something?
There’s not a reason in the world to vaccinate children against COVID-19 with the possible exception of morbidly obese, comorbid and immunodeficiency children.
Too high.
You are spot-on with the 18 percent figure. That’s a true reflection of the popularity of a lot of madness (including that of King Biden) in this country. Your trans maniacs, your CRT advocates, your mandate mads . . . all of them.
You’d think they were a larger percentage because of all the riots and riots of noise. But it’s only 18 percent. Loud and mad with unwarranted influence in the press and social media.
If the 82 percent of the rest of us ever figure out we outnumber them by such a margin, the 18 percent had better watch out.
The eye goes toward the 18% who would offer their children to this god.
btt
IMHO, 18% should lose custody of their children.
AND be charged with child endangerment.
The children of these parents are the victim of grossly negligent propaganda bought by their parents.
anyone who shoves these so called vaxxes on their children is an idiot and an evil idiot at that.....
If that is a true number, it is far too high.
