BACKGROUND
The United Arab Emirates had approved the COVID-19 vaccine for children. Assessing parents' acceptance of the vaccine for their children will influence decision-making in the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out.
METHOD
Parents registered inthe AbuDhabiDepartmentofEducation (12,000 families) were invitedtocompleteanonlinequestionnaire from 8th September 2021 to 17th October 2021. Out of the 12,000 families, 2510 (21%) participants answered the survey. The questionnaire investigated the parents' attitudes and beliefs regarding the COVID-19 vaccine.
RESULTS
The vaccination rate among this group of respondents was high, with 2255 (89.9%) having received two doses and 1002 (45.5%) having already received a booster dose. Acceptance of the respondents to vaccinate their children was high, (75.1%) said they would vaccinate their children, with 64.4% reporting that they would immediately vaccinate their children if the vaccine were made available. Determinants of COVID-19 child vaccination acceptance included the respondent's vaccination status-i.e., if the respondent is already vaccinated (OR 4.96 [2.89-8.53]) or has taken the third dose (OR 2.37 [1.4-4.01])-their children's age (OR 1.11 [1.30-1.18] for older children), and their trust in the following information sources: the government (OR 2.53 [1.61-3.98]), health care providers (OR 1.98 [1.2-3.24]), or social media (OR 2.17 [1.22-3.88]). Increased level of education had a negative impact on the acceptance of giving the vaccine to children (OR 0.63 [0.52-0.77]); fear of side effects OR 0.000164 (0.000039-0.001) was another determinant. The main factor that encouraged parents to give their children the vaccine was to protect their child's health as reported by 1537 (55.5%) participants.
CONCLUSION
The Abu Dhabi community is highly accepting of the vaccine for their children. Future studies of how this vaccine acceptance can influence the pandemic are needed.
背景
阿拉伯联合酋长国已批准为儿童接种 COVID-19 疫苗。评估父母对为子女接种疫苗的接受程度将影响 COVID-19 疫苗的推广决策。
方法
从 2021 年 9 月 8 日至 2021 年 10 月 17 日，邀请阿布扎比教育部注册的父母（12000 个家庭）完成在线问卷调查。在这 12000 个家庭中，有 2510 名（21%）参与者回答了调查。该问卷调查了父母对 COVID-19 疫苗的态度和信念。
结果
该组受访者的疫苗接种率很高，其中 2255 人（89.9%）已接种两剂，1002 人（45.5%）已接种加强针。受访者对为子女接种疫苗的接受程度很高，（75.1%）表示他们会为子女接种疫苗，其中 64.4%表示如果疫苗供应，他们会立即为子女接种疫苗。接受 COVID-19 儿童疫苗接种的决定因素包括受访者的疫苗接种状况——即，如果受访者已经接种疫苗（OR 4.96 [2.89-8.53]）或接种了第三剂（OR 2.37 [1.4-4.01]）——他们孩子的年龄（OR 1.11 [1.30-1.18] 岁较大的孩子），以及他们对以下信息来源的信任程度：政府（OR 2.53 [1.61-3.98]）、医疗保健提供者（OR 1.98 [1.2-3.24]）或社交媒体（OR 2.17 [1.22-3.88]）。受教育程度的提高对为儿童接种疫苗的接受程度产生了负面影响（OR 0.63 [0.52-0.77]）；对副作用的恐惧（OR 0.000164 [0.000039-0.001]）是另一个决定因素。受访者鼓励为子女接种疫苗的主要因素是保护子女的健康，1537 名（55.5%）参与者报告了这一点。
结论
阿布扎比社区非常接受为孩子接种疫苗。需要进一步研究这种疫苗接种接受程度如何影响大流行。
