Abstract Background The newly developed malaria vaccine called “R21/Matrix-M vaccine” showed a high safety and efficacy level, Ghana is the first country to approve this new vaccine. present study aimed evaluate rate of hesitancy (VH) towards among parents who currently have children are not eligible for but may be in near future. Additionally, identify factors that could potentially influence VH. Methods A cross-sectional survey using both online-based questionnaires face-to-face interviews was conducted from June August 2023. specifically targeted ineligible vaccination, including those aged less than 5 months or between 3 12 years. Parent Attitudes about Childhood Vaccination (PACV) scale used assess parental Results total 765 people participated study. Their median age 36.0 years with an interquartile range 31.0–41.0 years, 67.7% were females, 41.8% completed their tertiary education, 63.3% married, 81.6% worked non-healthcare sectors, 59.7% reported monthly income insufficient. About one-third (34.5%) hesitant give R21/Matrix-M following predictors associated VH: working healthcare sector (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 0.50; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.30–0.80; p 0.005), having other parent (AOR 0.54; CI 0.30–0.94; 0.034), taking scheduled routine vaccinations 1.90; 1.27–2.84; 0.002). Conclusions Addressing VH crucial optimizing coverage Ghana's control strategy. By tackling issues, can effectively safeguard children's health malaria-prone areas.

This study aimed evaluate vaccination hesitancy (VH) among Egyptian parents towards SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, specifically focusing on with chronically ill children. Method A multicentered cross-sectional survey was conducted at outpatient clinics El-Raml Pediatric Hospital, Ministry Health Population (MOHP) in Alexandria, Alexandria Main University Hospital for Maternity Children (AMUH), Al-Galaa Teaching General Organization Hospitals Institutes (GOTHI) Cairo, Department, Menoufia from May 1 st till December 15 th , 2022. Parents children chronic diseases were recruited using simple random sampling technique respond validated Arabic version parental attitudes about childhood (PACV). Results In this study, we enrolled 527 caregivers, 55.4% them aged 30–39 years old, 85.2% females, 46.9% had diseases. Commonly mentioned information sources included television radio (69.8%), social media (35.3%). Among studied, 59.6% refused vaccination. The predictors PACV score governorate, (β = 11.30, 95%CI [5.32, 17.27], p < 0.001), setting, -20.07, [-25.40, -14.75] -10.74, [-14.50, -6.98], income; not enough loans repaid 3.18, [0.54, 5.82], 0.018) 3.57,95%CI [0.08, 7.07], 0.045).

Data on routine childhood vaccination coverage can only tell us who is under-vaccinated; it cannot explain why vaccine low. Collecting data the reasons behind under-vaccination necessary to implement cost-effective strategies that address key barriers and target interventions appropriately. However, no instruments measure both acceptance access factors among parents of children <5 y have been validated in high-income countries. This study aims develop validate Vaccine Barriers Assessment Tool (VBAT) for Australia. We applied three phases mixed methods collection analysis. In Phase 1, we developed a comprehensive list 80 items reflecting all potential parental vaccination, derived from published literature behavioral theory. Through cognitive interviews (n = 28), refined this 45 items. 2, conducted two-wave online survey test reliability validity these an Australian sample 532) with structural equation modeling, further refining 35 3, final parent 156), administering along Parent Attitudes toward Childhood Vaccination (PACV) scale comparison. reviewed participants' immunization register assess predictive proposed models.
