3. Résumé

According to the authors, «[w]hile little is known yet about the social patterning of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among parents, a growing body of research demonstrates socioeconomic and racial/ethnic inequalities in COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and uptake among adults in the US, UK and Canada.» (p. 7141) «COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among the parents of children aged 2–18 was high in this study, with only 12.4% of parents reporting they were unlikely to vaccinate their child. Most hesitant parents reported concerns about the vaccine’s safety and adverse events. Parents with younger children were less likely to accept vaccination, as were those from lower-income households, racialized groups, and those born outside Canada. One-third of vaccine-eligible adolescents had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, with those from the most deprived neighbourhood half as likely to be vaccinated compared to the least deprived neighbourhood.» (p. 7142-7143)
