In multivariate analyses, those with a chronic disease were less likely (HCW odds ratio [OR]\u2009=\u20090.34; GPop OR\u2009=\u20090.77) and parents with children &amp;lt;18\u00a0years of age in the household were more likely (HCW OR\u2009=\u20092.29; GPop OR\u2009=\u20091.39) to be vaccine hesitant.
