A cross-sectional survey of parents of children with asthma from Montreal, Canada, finds that 19% said they were “unlikely” or “very unlikely” to have their child vaccinated against COVID-19. The findings are published in BMCPublicHealth
indicates that most of our participants were mothers . With 68.5% of participants reporting a university level of education, our sample, while biased, concerns a segment of the population more likely to be better informed about vaccination.However, only two exogenous variables were statistically significant: living in the Montreal region and parents with a high numeracy level. Keeping the causality in both directions among the decision variables rendered the other determinants meaningless.
For the decision about whether or not to get vaccinated themselves, parents with a university level of education, currently active in the labor market, and with a high numeracy level had a higher probability of accepting the COVID-19 vaccine. With a 6.3% level of significance, parents expressing a high level of concern regarding COVID-19 also had a higher probability of accepting a COVID-19 vaccine. Note that SUR estimated the correlation between the error terms at 0.852.
The probability that a parent will agree to be vaccinated is exclusively explained by the predicted values of their decision to have their child vaccinated.illustrates the factors influencing the predicted parents’ intention that their child with asthma be vaccinated against COVID-19 based on that model.
