Parental Vaccine Hesitancy in a COVID-19 World: A Qualitative Study of Midwestern Parents' Decisions Regarding COVID-19 Vaccination for Their Children.

Introduction: With the launch of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) vaccines, a new cohort of people exists who do not consider themselves to be completely vaccine-hesitant, but are specifically COVID-19 vaccine hesitant (CVH). There is a need to learn from CVH parents, to ensure their concerns are addressed, and allow them to comfortably vaccinate their children against the COVID-19 virus.

Methods: Surveys were used to identify CVH parents.
