“…Vaccination will increase life expectancy by lowering the prevalence, morbidity, and mortality of Covid-19 infection. Therefore, a herd immunity is required to limit COVID-19 embodiment, and childhood vaccines play a critical role in achieving this [5]. However, a vaccine that is both effective and safe will not be enough to cease the pandemic.…”

Background: A vaccine against the COVID-19 virus is the answer to halting the epidemic. Parents have the final say on whether or not to vaccinate their children because they are ultimately responsible for them. The original search yielded 180 publications, but only 70 were truly relevant. Following the conclusion of the review, ten studies were published, the results of which are listed below. Four studies focused on parents' attitudes and knowledge about vaccination against COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia, and six studies focused on vaccination against COVID-19 in general in Saudi Arabia. Aim: The review's goal is to understand the Saudi community's point of view, perception, and attitude toward Covid-19 vaccination based on recent publications. Method: PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Research Gate were used to conduct a review of qualitative research. The study compiles data on COVID-19 immunization in Saudi Arabia from ten different sources. Summary/Conclusion: Many parents around the world are hesitant to administer the COVID-19 vaccine to their children due to concerns about its efficacy, safety, and necessity. In Saudi Arabia, however, the majority of parents were willing to vaccinate their children against COVID-19.

Background: A safe and effective vaccine represents the best way to control the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused, to date, more than 4 millions deaths. Several vaccines are now approved worldwide, according to the country. Being administered to healthy people, anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines must meet high safety standards, and this is even more important among the pediatric population in which the risk of developing a severe disease is significantly lower than adults. However, vaccination of pediatric population could help in reducing viral spread in the whole population. Objective: Our narrative review analyzes and discusses the currently available literature on the advantages and disadvantages of COVID-19 vaccination in the pediatric population. Methods : Our bibliographic research was conducted through Pubmed, Read and Scopus using COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, immunization, antibody, COVID-19 vaccine efficacy, COVID-19 vaccine safety, children, adolescents, MIS-C, adverse effects as keywords. Results: Although children are less susceptible to COVID-19 infection, they can develop serious consequences, including multi-inflammatory Syndrome. However, before administering children vaccination with complete safety, any vaccine-related side effects should be evaluated. To date, adverse effects are reported in adolescents and young adults following vaccination; but these are mostly isolated reports. Conclusions : Further investigation is needed to establish whether there is indeed a cause-and-effect relationship in the development of vaccine-related adverse effects. However, to date, COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for children and adolescents older than 12 years of age. However, this question is still under debate and involves ethical, political, and social issues.
