Vaccines For Kids a Go, Say Parents

As the U.S. continues the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, parents are paying close attention to vaccine efficacy and side effects. Invisibly’s Realtime Research tool polled 1,258 people to find out if parents plan to vaccinate their kids, and if so, when. They learned that 53% of parents will consider vaccinating their kids at some point; 26% said immediately, 41% said they will wait and 33% don’t plan to at all. Young parents aged 18-24 are the most willing to get their kids vaccinated; while the older the parents are the less likely they are to vaccinate their kids. Parents with kids aged 14-17 are most likely to have their children vaccinated. invisionmag.com/062111
