Abstract in brief

  • The study surveyed 1,702 parents in Chicago and Cook County in June 2020 to understand COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy (VH) for children, with about 1,425 responses analyzed.
  • It found that vaccine hesitancy was higher among non-Hispanic Black parents, parents with public insurance, and lower-income families, with these groups showing significantly increased odds of hesitancy even after controlling for other factors.
  • Parents who used sources like family, the internet, and healthcare providers for COVID-19 information were less likely to be hesitant, highlighting the importance of trusted information sources, especially for populations most affected by the pandemic.]
