Parents who were worried about the long-term risks of the COVID-19 vaccine in children were 6% less likely to have vaccinated their children, according to an internet panel survey of 1715 parents with at least 1 child between the ages of 5 and 17 years. In addition, 18% of surveyed parents said they would feel more responsible if their child became sick after COVID-19 vaccination than if they became sick without vaccination. The survey was performed in February and March 2022, when the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant was predominant.
