Some Study Highlights:

• 72% of parents believe COVID vaccines should be required for all eligible children; almost 2 in 10 think they shouldn’t be

• More than 1 in 2 children are vaccinated against COVID, and 21% of parents plan to vaccinate their kids soon

• 46% of people ignore all COVID variant news

• Top perceived risks of requiring kids’ vaccinations:

  • Possible long-term side effects (54%)

  • Questionable efficacy against variants (47%)

  • May create health problems in the future (35%)

• Omicron Concern

  Those who have historically shown they are more concerned about Covid also share the same sentiment with Omicron though it has shown to be less severe for many.

• Variant Popularity

  Share

  Unsuprisingly people have seemed to hit their limit with how much attention they are paying to new variants. With COVID fatigue doubly plaguing the nation, it comes as no surprise that it only took 11 days from its discovery for interest in the omicron variant to drop off sharply.

  I definitely feel the covid fatigue and tend to tune out most updates and probably will unless a new more deadly variant surfaces. But others are still paying attention to the news.
• Locations and Mask Usage

  The division between vaccinated and unvaccinated most likely doesn't surprise you.

• Child Vaccinations

  Share

  Over half of respondents believed this was not only for the health of the individual child, but to protect classmates and teachers from infection as well. While many parents were on board with pediatric vaccinations, they weren't without their concerns. Over half of parents surveyed were worried about possible long-term side effects, 47% worried about their efficacy against variants, and more than 1 in 3 were concerned pediatric vaccines may cause problems down the road.

• Future of Covid

  The evidence seems to support the idea that Covid will be with us forever, it's endemic at this point. Any almost 3/4's of people would be willing to get regular boosters to avoid catching it.
