This study investigated vaccine acceptance of putative COVID-19 vaccines among a national sample of vaccine hesitant parents. Vaccine hesitancy and politicization of vaccine development has led to a pronounced distrust of COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. A total of 1,381 vaccine-hesitant parents participated in this study. Participants indicated a general unwillingness to vaccinate their children (M = 3.55, SD = 2.13) and themselves (M = 3.58, SD = 2.16) when a COVID-19 vaccine becomes available. More educated parents were more likely to plan to vaccinate themselves [F(5, 533) = 9.93, p < .05] and their children [F(5, 533) = 10.278, p < .05]. Understanding vaccine hesitant parents offers crucial insights as a COVID-19 vaccine becomes available for the general public and as we wait for a vaccine to be approved for pediatric use.

这项研究调查了犹豫不决的父母的全国样本中推定的COVID-19疫苗的疫苗接受度。疫苗的犹豫和疫苗开发的政治化在美国引起了对COVID-19疫苗的明显不信任。共有1381名疫苗敏感性患者的父母参加了这项研究。参与者表示，当获得COVID-19疫苗后，普遍不愿为其孩子（M = 3.55，SD  = 2.13）和他们自己（M = 3.58，SD  = 2.16）接种疫苗。受过良好教育的父母更有可能计划自己接种疫苗[ F（5，533）= 9.93，p <.05]和他们的孩子[ F（5，533）= 10.278，p<.05]。随着COVID-19疫苗对公众的普及以及我们等待疫苗被批准用于儿科的用途，了解犹豫不决的父母对父母提供了至关重要的见解。
