Insights

Nearly half of parents surveyed were willing to vaccinate children with special diseases against COVID-19. Parental education and COVID-19 knowledge influenced vaccination intentions for coronavirus disease 2019.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Vaccinology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Limited data exists on parental vaccination intentions for children with special diseases against COVID-19.
  • Parental attitudes towards pediatric vaccination are crucial for public health strategies.
  • Understanding factors influencing vaccine hesitancy in this population is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the willingness of parents of children with special diseases to vaccinate against COVID-19.
  • To identify demographic and disease-related factors associated with parental vaccination intention.
  • To explore the impact of COVID-19 education on parental vaccine acceptance.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was conducted with 914 parents of children with special diseases at a tertiary children's hospital.
  • Face-to-face questionnaire interviews collected data on child's condition and parental attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines.
  • Statistical analysis compared factors between parents willing and unwilling to vaccinate.

Main Results:

  • 49.9% of parents expressed willingness to vaccinate their children against COVID-19.
  • Lower parental education levels correlated with higher vaccination willingness.
  • Parents with COVID-19 prevention and control education showed increased vaccination intention.

Conclusions:

  • A significant proportion of parents are open to vaccinating children with special diseases against COVID-19.
  • Parental education and specific knowledge regarding COVID-19 prevention positively influence vaccination decisions.
  • Targeted educational interventions may enhance vaccine uptake in this vulnerable pediatric group.

Cancer Vaccines

Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

CRISPR01:59

CRISPR

Genome editing technologies allow scientists to modify an organism’s DNA via the addition, removal, or rearrangement of genetic material at specific genomic locations. These types of techniques could potentially be used to cure genetic disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell anemia. One popular and widely used DNA-editing research tool that could lead to safe and effective cures for genetic disorders is the CRISPR-Cas9 system. CRISPR-Cas9 stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs01:05

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:
