Pediatric Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccine Experiences, Practices, and Attitudes in Rural Primary Care Clinicians.
Objective: Pediatric coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination rates remain low in rural areas. A strong clinician recommendation improves vaccine uptake, but the pediatric COVID-19 vaccine recommendation practices of rural primary care clinicians have not been reported. Our objectives were to describe, among rural Colorado pediatric clinicians: 1) recommendation practices for COVID-19 vaccine compared to influenza and school-entry required vaccines, and 2) personal attitudes.
Methods: From July to October 2023, surveys were distributed to clinicians in rural Colorado identified as pediatric vaccine providers in counties designated as rural through the Colorado Immunization Information System using mail and email.
Results: Of 89 survey respondents, 37% of clinicians strongly recommended COVID-19 vaccines for children 6 months-5 years old, compared to 79% for influenza (P = 0.05) and 92% for school-entry required vaccines (P = 0.04). For children 6-11 and 12-17 years old, 43% and 44% of clinicians strongly recommended COVID-19 vaccines, respectively, compared to 71% and 70% for influenza (P < 0.01), and 91% for school-entry required vaccines (P < 0.01). Forty four percent of clinicians agreed that COVID-19 vaccines are important for pediatric patients. The most common clinician-perceived challenges to discussing pediatric COVID-19 vaccines included a lack of parent interest in more information (76% "somewhat" or "strongly" agree), lack of ability to change parents' minds (71%), and concerns that the vaccines are too political (40%).
Conclusions: Most rural Colorado clinicians do not strongly recommend pediatric COVID-19 vaccines compared to influenza and school-entry required vaccines. Efforts to improve pediatric COVID-19 vaccine uptake should aim to strengthen clinicians' recommendations of these vaccines.
