Parent Acceptance toward Inactivated COVID-19 Vaccination in Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: The Power of Oncologist and Alliance.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The current study aims to survey the willingness of parents to vaccinate their children, who are childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia survivors (CALLS), and identify factors associated with vaccine acceptance.

Methods

Parents of CALLS on/off treatment, with the general condition of being amendable to vaccination, were recruited for interviews with attending oncologists about COVID-19 vaccination acceptance from July to November 2021 in China. After controlling for socioeconomic factors, the Association of Oncologists' recommendations and parent-oncologist alliance with acceptance status were investigated. For validation, propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis was used.

Results

A total of 424 families were included in the study, with CALLS mean remission
