Many parents regret COVID-19 vaccinations for their children, considering them unsafe and unnecessary. A review indicates high hesitancy rates, peaking at 86% in US parents during the pandemic, possibly nearing 100% now. The CDC doesn't track children's acceptance of mRNA vaccines, but many parents opt-out while complying with other vaccinations. Due to potential risks, the safest approach is to refuse mRNA shots.
Parents Hesitant to Vaccinate Children for COVID-19 Up to 95% Rates of Resistance to Unsafe, Ineffective, and Unnecessary mRNA Vaccines in Children Thu, 05 Dec 2024 10:08:51 GMT https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/parents-hesitant-to-vaccinate-children By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH
Many parents have come to me and admitted regret for having their children vaccinated against COVID-19. They realize the shots were unsafe, ineffective, not clinically indicated nor medically necessary.

A scoping review of eight studies over the course of the pandemic by Wu and colleagues found a wide range of parental hesitancy rates before March, 2022. It was 86% for American parents back during the heat of the pandemic. I would estimate it is nearly 100% now. The CDC is not reporting the acceptance rate of COVID-19 mRNA shots by children, even among those effectively forced to take the entire ACIP routine schedule in California, New York, West Virginia, Maine, and Connecticut. My suspicion is that parents are opting out of the mRNA shots, accepting all other routine ones, and schools are accepting these records for matriculation.
Because COVID-19 vaccination causes death in some unfortunate children , it is the safest stance to refuse all mRNA shots and find a way of having the child navigate vaccine mandates.
