“…Additionally, different acceptance rates at a national level were reported in one recent systematic review in the US: 12 to 91.4% acceptance rate [ 29 ]. Factors such as educational qualification, compliance with preventive measures related to COVID-19, age, gender, source of information related to COVID-19, history of influenza vaccination, inefficient government efforts and initiatives, and trust in the government are among the factors affecting the enthusiasm for vaccination against COVID-19 [ 27 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ].…”

Currently, the best method to well control the spread of COVID-19 without severe mental health problems is to reach herd immunity. Therefore, the vaccination rate of the COVID-19 vaccine is critical. Among the populations, children are the vulnerable ones to get vaccinated; therefore, it is important to assess parents’ and guardians’ willingness to have their children vaccinated. The present systematic review and meta-analysis synthesized evidence to estimate the parents’ acceptance rate of COVID-19 vaccination toward their children. Additionally, factors explaining the acceptance rate were investigated. Four academic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and ProQuest) together with Google Scholar were searched, and the references of the included publications were searched as well. Using the PECO-S framework (population, exposure, comparison, outcome, and study design), observational studies of cross-sectional, cohort, or case-control studies were included. The outcome was parents’ or guardians’ willingness to let their children be vaccinated. The studies included in the present review were restricted to English and peer-reviewed papers published between December 2019 and July 2022. A total of 98 papers across 69 different countries with 413,590 participants were included. The mean age of the parents was 39.10 (range: 18–70) years and that of their children was 8.45 (range: 0–18) years. The pooled estimated prevalence of parental acceptance to vaccinate their children with the COVID-19 vaccine was 57% (98 studies, 95% CI: 52–62%, I2: 99.92%, τ2: 0.06). Moreover, data collection time was a significant factor explaining parental willingness in the multivariable meta-regression, with a 13% decrease in parental willingness by each month increase in time, explaining 11.44% of variance. Qualitative synthesis results showed that parents’ COVID-19 vaccine knowledge, trust in theCOVID-19 vaccine, and facilitators in vaccination (e.g., low cost, good vaccine accessibility, and government incentive) were significant factors for higher willingness, while mental health problems (e.g., having worries and psychological distress) were significant factors for lower willingness. Given that the acceptance rate was relatively low (57%) and does not achieve the requirement of herd immunity (i.e., 70%), governments and healthcare authorities should try to elevate parents’ knowledge and trust in the COVID-19 vaccine, facilitate in vaccination, and reduce their mental difficulties to improve the overall vaccination rate among children.

ZusammenfassungPublizierte Studien aus dem Jahr 2021, deren Datenerhebung Ende 2020 und vor der Zulassung des ersten COVID-19-Impfstoffes Comirnaty erfolgte, fanden medial einen großen Anklang, da sie unter anderem schlussfolgerten, dass im Besonderen Homöopathie-Anwender einer COVID-19-Impfung skeptisch gegenüberstünden.Die betrachteten Studien basieren auf einer Datenerhebung, die zu einem Zeitpunkt stattgefunden hat, der aus heutiger Sicht keine Grundlage dafür bietet, Aussagen über die COVID-19-Impfbereitschaft von Individuen in Deutschland abzuleiten. Der Wissensstand in der Bevölkerung bezüglich des neuartigen Impfstoffes, dessen Wirksamkeit und potenziellen Nebenwirkungen bzw. Impfschäden hat sich seitdem drastisch verändert. Jenseits des ungeeigneten Erhebungszeitraumes, weist die Studie signifikante methodische Mängel auf. So bedingen unscharf definierte Selektionskriterien für einige Fragebogen-Items potenzielle Verzerrungen der Ergebnisse. Bei der Fragestellung eines potentiellen Zusammenhanges zwischen Homöopathie-Anwendung und Impfskepsis ist eine wissenschaftlich zu fordernde Analyse auf mögliche Drittvariablen, die zu einer Scheinkorrelation führen, nicht erfolgt. Die Korrelation dann als Kausalzusammenhang zu präsentieren ist wissenschaftlich unzulässig. Aktuelle methodisch valide Untersuchungen belegen zudem, dass keine Korrelation zwischen der Einstellung zu Alternativmedizin und Impfskepsis besteht.

“…At the same time, countries like Germany are struggling to have enough people vaccinated to relieve pressure on their healthcare systems. The prevalence of certain ideologies in Germany—such as anthroposophy [ 1 ], homeopathy [ 2 ], and far right-wing supporters [ 3 ]–likely provided fertile grounds for skepticism towards COVID-19 vaccines. As of December 2021, almost 27% of Germans were still unvaccinated with vaccination rates plateauing since fall [ 4 ].…”

Background Many countries, such as Germany, struggle to vaccinate enough people against COVID-19 despite the availability of safe and efficient vaccines. With new variants emerging and the need for booster vaccinations, overcoming vaccination hesitancy gains importance. The research to date has revealed some promising, albeit contentious, interventions to increase vaccination intention. However, these have yet to be tested for their effectiveness in increasing vaccination rates. Methods & results We conducted a preregistered survey experiment with N = 1,324 participants in Germany in May/June 2021. This was followed by a series of emails reminding participants to get vaccinated in August and concluded with a follow-up survey in September. We experimentally assess whether debunking vaccination myths, highlighting the benefits of being vaccinated, or sending vaccination reminders decreases hesitancy. In the survey experiment, we find no increase in the intention to vaccinate regardless of the information provided. However, communicating vaccination benefits over several weeks reduced the likelihood of not being vaccinated by 9 percentage points, which translates into a 27% reduction compared to the control group. Debunking vaccination myths and reminders alone also decreased the likelihood, yet not significantly. Discussion Our findings suggest that if soft governmental interventions such as information campaigns are employed, highlighting benefits should be given preference over debunking vaccination myths. Furthermore, it seems that repeated messages affect vaccination action while one-time messages might be insufficient, even for increasing vaccination intentions. Our study highlights the importance of testing interventions outside of survey experiments that are limited to measuring vaccination intentions—not actions—and immediate changes in attitudes and intentions—not long-term changes.
