Abstract
Pneumococcal diseases (PDs) are serious threats to child health. Although vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent these diseases, the pneumococcal vaccination coverage rate is still relatively low in China. This study investigated the factors associated with 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) vaccine hesitancy in parents under an innovative immunization strategy. This study found that 29.7% of the participants hesitated to vaccinate their children against PCV13 and the main reasons for vaccine hesitancy were individual and group influences. This study can provide scientific evidence for further improving children's PCV13 vaccination rate and improving the prevention and control strategy for PDs.
