Poll: Most Parents Won’t Vaccinate Young Kids Against COVID Right Away

(San Francisco, CA) — A new poll shows that 73-percent of parents won’t vaccinate their young children against COVID-19 right away. The Kaiser Family Foundation survey found that just 27-percent of parents plan to sign their kids up for shots as soon as possible. This finding comes as the CDC is poised to okay Pfizer’s COVID vaccine for kids ages five to eleven. Two-thirds of parents surveyed said they’re worried about future fertility despite assurances by the CDC that there’s no evidence of that. Pfizer’s latest data shows the COVID vax is safe for young children and 91-percent effective in preventing symptomatic disease. Twenty-eight-million U.S. children could become eligible for COVID shots by the end of next week.
