Market research was commissioned by GSK and carried out amongst 2,511 parents of children aged between 9 months and 10 years old during May 2020. It suggests that despite 93% of parents being generally happy for their children to be vaccinated, only 78% of them are happy for their child to have vaccinations during the Covid-19 pandemic. 1 The experts will explore how to address some of the concerns raised by parents along with preparing for the 2020/21 seasonal flu vaccination programme.
