COVID-19影响全世界的家庭生活。在为儿童接种COVID-19疫苗方面犹豫不决的决定因素对于指导公共卫生运动至关重要。父母之间的性别差异可能决定儿童接种COVID-19疫苗的意愿。方法对2020年3月至6月大流行高峰期间6个国家17个地点的COVID-19父母态度调查（COVIPAS）进行二次分析。我们评估了风险认知、疫苗接种史和为儿童接种COVID-19疫苗的计划。我们比较了父亲和母亲的回答，并使用多变量逻辑回归。结果母亲共完成调查2025份（75.4%），父亲共完成调查662份（24.6%），其中60份未回答未来接种疫苗的问题。2627人中，有1721人（65.5%）愿意为其子女接种疫苗。在多变量分析中，如果父母年龄较大，并且认为保持社交距离是值得的，并且如果他们的孩子接种了最新的儿童疫苗，父亲和母亲都更愿意为孩子接种疫苗（优势比（OR）分别为母亲1.02,3.90,1.65，父亲1.04,4.76,2.87）。如果母亲（而不是父亲）受过高中以上的教育，他们更愿意为他们的男孩接种疫苗（OR为1.38），而父亲（而不是母亲）比女孩更愿意为他们的男孩接种疫苗（OR为1.62）。母亲和父亲之间的独特差异强调了将疫苗犹豫视为一种可接受的父母反应的必要性。公共卫生部门应为家长制定有针对性的儿童COVID-19疫苗教育信息。
Aims COVID-19 affects family life world-wide. Determinants of hesitancy around vaccinating children against COVID-19 are critical in guiding public health campaigns. Gender differences among parents may determine willingness to vaccinate children against COVID-19. Methods Secondary analysis of the COVID-19 Parental Attitude Study (COVIPAS) surveying care givers of children presenting for emergency care in 17 sites in 6 countries during peak pandemic (March-June, 2020). We assessed risk perceptions, vaccination history and plans to vaccinate children against COVID-19 once available. We compared responses given by father or mother and used multivariable logistic regression. Results A total of 2025 (75.4%) surveys were completed by mothers and 662 (24.6%) by fathers, 60 did not respond to question about future vaccination. Of 2627, 1721 (65.5%) were willing to vaccinate their children. In the multivariable analysis, both fathers and mothers were more willing to vaccinate their child if the parent was older and believed that social distancing is worthwhile, and if their child was up-to-date on childhood vaccines (odds ratio (OR) of 1.02, 3.90, 1.65 for mothers and 1.04, 4.76, 2.87 for fathers, respectively). Mothers (but not fathers) were more willing if they had more than a high school education (OR 1.38), and fathers (but not mothers) were more willing to vaccinate their male children (OR 1.62), compared to female children. Conclusion Unique differences between mothers and fathers underscore the need to view vaccine hesitancy as an acceptable parental response. Public health should plan targeted educational information for parents about a COVID-19 vaccine for children.
