Purpose

The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of adolescents' desire for COVID-19 vaccination on their parents' vaccination decision for their adolescent.

Methods

We surveyed an internet-based panel of 1,051 parents of 1,519 adolescents aged 11–18 years from February to March 2021 about their adolescent's desire for COVID-19 vaccination and whether they consider this desire in their vaccination decision for the adolescent. We used multivariable Poisson regression to assess associations with parent-stated likelihood of adolescent vaccination.

Results

A total of 58.3% of parents reported that they and their adolescents had the same vaccination desire; similarly, 58.3% considered their adolescent's desire in their vaccination decision. These latter parents were more likely to vaccinate their adolescent than parents who did not consider their adolescent's desire (adjusted risk ratio = 1.25 [95% confidence interval = 1.05–1.50]).

Discussion

Most parents considered their adolescent's desire for COVID-19 vaccination. These parents were more likely to state that they will have their adolescent receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

青少年疫苗接种意愿对家长青少年 COVID-19 疫苗接种决定的影响

 目的

本研究的目的是评估青少年接种 COVID-19 疫苗的愿望对其父母为青少年接种疫苗的决定的影响。

 方法

我们于 2021 年 2 月至 3 月对由 1,519 名 11-18 岁青少年的 1,051 名家长组成的互联网小组进行了调查，了解他们的青少年对 COVID-19 疫苗接种的愿望以及他们在为青少年做出疫苗接种决定时是否考虑到这种愿望。我们使用多变量泊松回归来评估与父母陈述的青少年疫苗接种可能性的关联。

 结果

共有58.3%的家长表示自己和青少年有同样的疫苗接种愿望；同样，58.3% 的人在做出疫苗接种决定时考虑了青少年的愿望。与不考虑青少年愿望的父母相比，后者的父母更有可能为青少年接种疫苗（调整后的风险比 = 1.25 [95% 置信区间 = 1.05–1.50]）。

 讨论

大多数家长都考虑了青少年接种 COVID-19 疫苗的愿望。这些父母更有可能表示他们将让孩子接种 COVID-19 疫苗。
