“We aimed to estimate the prevalence and factors associated with parents’ non-intention to vaccinate
their children and adolescents against COVID-19 in Colombia and Peru. We performed a secondary anal-
ysis using a database generated by the University of Maryland and Facebook (Facebook, Inc). We Included
adult (18 and over) Facebook users residing in LAC who responded to the survey between May 20, and
November 5, 2021. We Included sociodemographic characteristics, comorbidities, mental health, eco-
nomic and food insecurity, compliance with mitigation strategies against COVID-19, and practices related
to vaccination against this disease. We estimated crude (cPR) and adjusted (aPR) prevalence ratios with
their respective 95 %CI. We analyzed a sample of 44,678 adults from Colombia and 24,302 from Peru. The
prevalence of parents’ non-intention to vaccinate their children and adolescents against COVID-19 was
7.41 % (n = 3,274) for Colombia and 6.64 % (n = 1,464) for Peru. In Colombia, age above 35 years old, com-
pliance with physical distancing, use of masks, having economic insecurity, anxiety symptoms, having a
chronic condition or more comorbidities, and being vaccinated were associated with a higher probability
of vaccinating children and adolescents against COVID-19. In Peru, female gender, compliance with phys-
ical distancing, use of masks, having economic insecurity, anxiety symptoms, having a chronic condition
or more comorbidities, having had COVID-19, and being vaccinated were associated with a higher prob-
ability of vaccinating children against COVID-19. Living in a town, a village, or a rural area was associated
with a higher prevalence of non-intention to vaccinate children and adolescents against COVID-19. About
9 out of 10 parents in Colombia and Peru intend to vaccinate their children and adolescents against
COVID-19. This intention is associated with some factors which are similar between the two countries,
as well as other factors and variations among the different regions of each country.“
