More than one-quarter of U.S. parents don't plan to vaccinate their kids for COVID-19, and roughly as many oppose school-required coronavirus shots, a new study finds.

THURSDAY, April 1, 2021 -- More than one-quarter of U.S. parents don't plan to vaccinate their kids for COVID-19, and roughly as many oppose school-requiredThis opposition was more common among moms than dads, and was especially common among white mothers who identified as Republican/Republican-leaning, the researchers said.

Only 17% of fathers, however, said they do not plan to vaccinate their children, the findings showed., including 54% of white Republican and Republican-leaning mothers. That compared to one in five dads. "With rampant misinformation, many mothers perceive themselves as able to control the risks of COVID-19 but not the risks of the vaccines. So, they are planning to limit their children's exposure to the virus rather than depend on the vaccine," Calarco added.The researchers also found that parents without a college degree were significantly more likely than others to oppose school-required. Black parents are more likely than white parents, overall, to oppose school-mandated shots.

It’s more dangerous for children to drive to go get the vaccine than dying from Coronavirus itself I’m not anti-vax by any means, but based on the CDC data, children are virtually unaffected entirely by COVID19 They have higher chance of drowning or falling out of a bunk bed

So there will still be enough vaccinated for herd immunity! It doesn’t have to be 100%, so stop with the negative insinuation!

School required?!?! There is no coronavirus vaccine approved by the FDA .

That 30% always damages our country.

People shouldn’t be taking that and parents that do let their kids take it are nuts

I think that's fair, it's not an approved vaccine, it was approved for emergency use. If anything happened that affects reproduction, that would literally be catastrophic. Once it's approved without the EUA, then there's no excuse.

That’s crazy.
