Assess degree to which US parents are likely to have their children get COVID-19 vaccines and identify parental concerns about the vaccines. In February – March 2021, we surveyed parent members of a nationally representative probability-based internet panel of ≈9,000 adults regarding their intent to have their children receive a COVID-19 vaccination, perceptions of COVID-19 vaccines for children, and trust in sources of information about COVID-19 vaccines for children. We used descriptive and multivariate analyses to evaluate parent-stated likelihood of having their children get a COVID-19 vaccine and to assess the association between likelihood of child COVID-19 vaccination and child age, parent demographics, and parental perceptions about COVID-19 vaccines. Altogether, 1,745 parents responded (87% of eligible parents, 3,759 children). Likelihood of child COVID-19 vaccination was as follows: very likely (28%), somewhat likely (18%), somewhat unlikely (9%), very unlikely (33%), and unsure (12%). The stated likelihood of child vaccination was greater among parents of older children (p<.001) as well as parents who had Bachelor’s or higher education (p<.001), had already received or were likely to receive a COVID-19 vaccine (p<.001), or had Democratic affiliation (p<.001); variations existed by race/ethnicity (p=.04). Parental concerns centered around vaccine safety and side-effects. A key trusted source of information about COVID-19 vaccines for children was the child’s doctor. Less than half of US participants report that they are likely to have their child receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Pediatric healthcare providers have a major role in promoting and giving COVID-19 vaccination for children. Less than half of US participants report that they are likely to have their child receive a COVID-19 vaccine. This nationally representative survey found that less than one-half of US parents are likely to have their child receive COVID-19 vaccines when they are available.
