Over 25 percent of young Canadian children eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccines did not get vaccinated because of parental concerns, says a recent report by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).

“Monitoring parental attitudes is essential to predict expected vaccine uptake and to guide education and awareness efforts to promote vaccination,” said the report, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
