This study aimed to systematically clarify attitudes and influencing factors of the public toward COVID-19 vaccination for children or adolescents.
This was a scoping review.
This scoping review screened, included, sorted, and analyzed relevant studies on COVID-19 vaccination for children or adolescents before December 31, 2021, in databases, including PubMed, Elsevier, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Wiley.
A total of 34 studies were included. The results showed that the public's acceptance rate toward COVID-19 vaccination for children or adolescents ranged from 4.9% (southeast Nigerian mothers) to 91% (Brazilian parents). Parents' or adolescents' age, gender, education level, and cognition and behavior characteristics for the vaccines were the central factors affecting vaccination. The vaccine's safety, effectiveness, and potential side-effects were the main reasons affecting vaccination.
Realizing current public attitudes of COVID-19 vaccination for adolescents or children can effectively develop intervention measures and control the pandemic as soon as possible through herd immunity.

这是一项范围性综述。
本范围性综述在数据库中筛选、纳入、分类和分析了截至 2021 年 12 月 31 日有关儿童或青少年 COVID-19 疫苗接种的相关研究，包括 PubMed、Elsevier、Web of Science、Cochrane Library 和 Wiley。
共纳入 34 项研究。结果表明，公众对儿童或青少年 COVID-19 疫苗接种的接受率范围为 4.9%（尼日利亚东南部母亲）至 91%（巴西父母）。父母或青少年的年龄、性别、教育水平以及对疫苗的认知和行为特征是影响接种的核心因素。疫苗的安全性、有效性和潜在副作用是影响接种的主要原因。
了解当前公众对青少年或儿童 COVID-19 疫苗接种的态度，可以通过群体免疫有效制定干预措施并尽快控制疫情。
