Factors influencing Thai parents' COVID-19 vaccine acceptance for their children: Vaccine attitudes, beliefs, and children's past influenza vaccination.
Article in Virus research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundParental acceptance plays an important role in childhood COVID-19 vaccination, but factors underlying vaccine acceptance in Thailand remain insufficiently understood. This study assessed parents' vaccine attitudes, beliefs, preference to choose, willingness to pay for COVID-19 vaccine, and children's past influenza vaccination and examined their influence on COVID-19 vaccine acceptance for their children aged 6 months to <10 years.
methodsAn online cross-sectional study was conducted in Thailand. A sample of 973 Thai parents with children aged 6 months to <10 years was used for data analysis using multivariate multinomial logistic regression.
resultsResults showed that 98.6% of parents reported receiving COVID-19 vaccination, but only 51.3% would accept COVID-19 vaccine for their children. Univariate multinomial logistic regression analyses showed that parent's age, trust in health professionals, beliefs in COVID-19 vaccine safety, opinions that children should also be vaccinated, negative attitudes about vaccination, willingness to pay for the vaccines, and children's age were associated with parents' COVID-19 vaccine acceptance for their children. The final multivariate model included children's age, beliefs in vaccine safety, trust in health professionals, opinions that children should also be vaccinated, negative attitudes about vaccination, and willingness to pay for the vaccines. Although the children's past influenza vaccination showed a significant association with parents' COVID-19 vaccine acceptance for their children in univariate analysis, it was not retained in the multivariate multinomial logistic regression model.
conclusionsParents should receive vital information from health professionals about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccination to increase its acceptance for children. The results will benefit future planning for vaccination programs for children when both the COVID-19 vaccine and annual influenza vaccine are recommended as essential immunizations for children.
