摘要
Parents are facing tremendous stress in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccination program for children. we aimed to investigate parents’ willingness to vaccinate their children against COVID-19 in North Kivu province, (DRC). A cross-sectional survey between 1 December 2021 to 20 January 2022 in six health zones (Goma, Karisimbi, Butembo, Beni, Kamango, and Katwa) was conducted in the province of North Kivu. In each health zone, we selected five clusters (Health area) using the method of probabilistic selection proportional to population size. In total, 522 parents participated in our study. Overall, 32.8% of parents intended to vaccinate their children. In the multivariate analysis, a younger age of parents (aOR: 2.40, CI: [1.50–3.83]), a higher level of fear that “a member of my family” could contract COVID-19 (aOR: 2.35, CI: [1.38–4.02]), a higher level of perceived vulnerability to COVID-19 within the family (aOR: 1.70, CI: [1.005–2.2881]), a higher level of perceived susceptibility to COVID-19 within the family (aOR: 3.07, CI: [1.80–5.23]), and a history of vaccination against COVID-19 among parents (aOR: 16.47, CI: [8.39–32.33]), Were all significantly associated with the intention of parents to have their children or adolescents vaccinated.
