Description

Data collected as part of a multi-method study to investigate parent and guardian views on the acceptability of a future COVID-19 vaccine. Participants reported that they were aged 16 years or older, the parent or guardian of one or more children aged 18 months or under, and lived in England. The collection consists of: [1] a tabular dataset that contains survey responses on the acceptability of a future COVID-19 vaccine, as provided by 1252 parents and guardians; [2] Transcripts of 19 follow-up interviews that provide greater insight into participant views on a future COVID-19 vaccine for themselves and for their children; and [3] Research instruments (interview guides, survey forms) used for data capture.

Methods

Description of data capture

The study was performed as part of a larger project to investigate parents’ and guardians’ views and perceptions towards childhood vaccinations and use of NHS general practice services for childhood vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic. A multi-methods approach was used to quantify the prevalence of different views on COVID-19 vaccine acceptability among parents’ and guardians’ and to explore reasons behind these views. First, an online cross-sectional survey was conducted between April 19th and May 11th 2020. The survey was targeted at parents and guardians who were aged 16+ years, lived in England, with a child aged 18 months or under. This included demographic questions and closed and open-text questions designed to capture acceptance of a future COVID-19 vaccine. In total, 1,252 responses were received, which are contained within the tabular dataset. Second, follow-up interviews were performed via telephone with nineteen survey respondents. The semi-structured interviews were used to obtain greater insight into their views on a future COVID-19 vaccine for themselves and for their children.
