Assess the degree to which US parents are likely to have their children get coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines and identify parental concerns about the vaccines.

In February 2021 to March 2021, we surveyed parent members of a nationally representative probability-based Internet panel of ~9000 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, 1745 parents responded (87% of eligible parents, 3759 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 among parents who had a bachelor’s degree 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 and 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 one-half of US participants report that they are likely to have their child receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Pediatric health care providers have a major role in promoting and giving COVID-19 vaccination for children.

评估美国父母可能让他们的孩子接种 2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 疫苗的程度，并确定父母对疫苗的担忧。

2021 年 2 月至 2021 年 3 月，我们调查了一个由约 9000 名成年人组成的具有全国代表性的基于概率的互联网小组的家长成员，了解他们让孩子接种 COVID-19 疫苗的意愿、对儿童 COVID-19 疫苗的看法以及对他们的信任有关儿童 COVID-19 疫苗的信息来源。我们使用描述性和多变量分析来评估父母陈述的让孩子接种 COVID-19 疫苗的可能性，并评估儿童接种 COVID-19 疫苗的可能性与儿童年龄、父母人口统计数据和父母对 COVID-19 疫苗的看法之间的关联.

总共有 1745 位家长做出了回应（87% 的符合条件的家长，3759 名儿童）。儿童接种 COVID-19 疫苗的可能性如下：很可能 (28%)、有点可能 (18%)、不太可能 (9%)、非常不可能 (33%) 和不确定 (12%)。大孩子的父母 ( P < .001) 以及拥有学士学位或高等教育的父母 ( P < .001) 已经接受或可能接受 COVID- 19. 19 疫苗 ( P < .001)，或有民主党派 ( P < .001)；种族和种族存在差异（P=.04）。父母的担忧主要集中在疫苗安全性和副作用上。有关儿童 COVID-19 疫苗的重要可信信息来源是孩子的医生。

不到一半的美国参与者报告说他们可能会让他们的孩子接种 COVID-19 疫苗。儿科保健提供者在促进和为儿童接种 COVID-19 疫苗方面发挥着重要作用。
