After Pfizer announced a kids CoVid vaccine for children 5-11 years of age, 57% of parents, on average, reported that they intend to vaccinate their children.  Let’s see which parents will and why.

 

Israeli investigators conducted an online survey of 1,012 parents of children 5 through 11 years of age living in that country.  Of the 57% who will vaccinate, 27% will do so immediately, 26% will in 1 to 3 months, 17% will in 4 to 12 months, and 7% would wait more than a year.  23% will not vaccinate.

 

The reasons for delaying vaccination were: safety concerns in 64%, side effects fears in 60%, fear the the trials were carried out too quickly in 56%,  a feeling that there is little need for vaccination in 33%, and the mistaken impression that there is low vaccine effectiveness in 25%. 

 

More men than women would vaccinate, 63 vs 52%, more of those over 40 than under, 64 vs 49%, more of those with advanced degrees than without would vaccinate, 60 vs 53%, those with higher than average income vs lower, 67 vs 52%, those whose older kids received the vaccine vs not, 77 vs 46%, and parents who themselves were vaccinated vs not, 61 vs 15%.
