A new report shows wide racial and ethnic differences in COVID-19 vaccination of children, with Asian children being the most likely to be vaccinated and Black children being the least likely.
Parents who did not vaccinate their children cited safety concerns, were more likely to have friends and family who were not vaccinated, and were less likely to say a healthcare provider recommended vaccination, according to The results are important, researchers noted, because people who are Black, Hispanic or Latino have an elevated of being infected, hospitalized, or dying due to COVID-19.
"Enhanced public health efforts are needed to increase COVID-19 vaccination coverage for all children and adolescents," researchers wrote."To increase overall coverage and address disparities in child and adolescent COVID-19 vaccination coverage, providers and trusted messengers should provide culturally relevant information and vaccine recommendations.
Vaccination of children was most likely among those ages 12 to 17, those whose mothers had a college degree, and those whose household income was $75,000 a year or more. Households that reported frequently wearing masks in public were also more likely to say their children were vaccinated.
