Abstract:

This study determined the level of hesitancy of the respondents and the factors influencing parents' vaccine hesitancy on students' vaccination.A quantitative design was utilized in this study with the use of an adopted questionnaire with a series of structured questions to identify the profile of the respondents, level of vaccine hesitancy, and factors influencing parents' vaccine hesitancy. The researchers conducted this study at Morong National High School in the academic year 2022 to 2023 with 61 parent respondents out of 369 (16.5%) unvaccinated students from grade levels 7 to 10.The respondents' profile in terms of age (F= 0.74, P > .05), sex ( F= 2.32, P > .05), educational attainment (F= 1.66, P > .05), and sources of information (F= 0.46, P > .05) have no significant differences. Moreover, there are significant differences in terms of the respondents' civil status (F= 3.35, P < .05), the number of children (F= 2.58, P < .05), monthly family income (F= 3.22, P < .05), and, occupation ( F= 5.57, P < .05). The respondents who finished elementary education or lower are extremely hesitant, while those whose ages are above 51; males; single parent and separated; having one, two, three and four children; attained secondary, bachelor's degree and preferred not to say; have a monthly income of below Php. 8,000; work in the field of education, construction and others are at the level of high hesitancy. Protection, evidence and healthcare providers are the most common factors that cause hesitancy
