Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing, it is imperative to vaccinate most people, including children, to achieve herd immunity against the pandemic. Since parents are the ones who ultimately decide whether to vaccinate their children, this viewpoint was conducted to determine parents' acceptance and reluctance to vaccinate their children against COVID-19. This viewpoint aims to identify the predictors and ethical considerations of childhood vaccination. Several predictive factors contribute to the decision to accept or refuse the COVID-19 vaccine for children. Predictor factors that influence the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine in children are citizen trust in government, conspiratorial beliefs, intention of parents, psychological reactance, and magical beliefs. Ethical considerations must also be considered, because this is very important. Ethical considerations that may be a dilemma for vaccine acceptance such as autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice.
