Article Synopsis
- The study investigates what influences parents in Japan to vaccinate their children against COVID-19, especially with pediatric vaccines becoming available.
- An online survey was conducted in February 2022 with 2,419 respondents to gauge their attitudes towards vaccination, using multinomial logistic regression to analyze factors like gender, education, and perception of vaccine benefits and risks.
- Key findings reveal that male parents, those with higher educational levels, and those who view the benefits of vaccination as significant are more likely to support COVID-19 vaccinations for their children, along with the number of credible information sources they consider.
Objectives: Trust in governments and public institutions as a determinant of public health outcomes has gained increased attention since the COVID-19 pandemic. Provided historically low confidence in vaccines in Japan, investigating the role of trust in information sources and actual COVID-19 vaccination uptake behavior will be invaluable for future vaccine promotion policymaking. Therefore, the objective of this study was to elucidate the determinants of COVID-19 vaccination uptake and evaluate the relationship between trust in different information sources and COVID-19 vaccination behavior in Japan.
