The online survey was written in Arabic and consisted of three main sections.

Only 149 (20.7%) of the parents\u2019 children were vaccinated with the PCV. However, almost half 356 (49.4%) of the respondents were willing to vaccinate their children. Most (563, 78.1%) parents stated that the vaccine would protect their children from pneumococcal disease. More than two thirds (516, 71.6%) of them strongly agreed or agreed that the cost of the PCV is high. Parents who had vaccinated their children had a higher monthly income than parents who had not vaccinated their children. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p> This study shows a lack of knowledge regarding pneumococcal infection and the PCV among Jordanian parents. This is the main barrier to vaccinating children. Therefore, improving parental knowledge would increase the rate of vaccination among Jordanian children. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/03000605221128151","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,6]],"date-time":"2022-10-06T07:42:07Z","timestamp":1665042127000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Parents\u2019 attitude towards pneumococcal vaccine: an online survey from Jordan"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"50","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7554-7604","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Montaha","family":"AL-Iede","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Pulmonology and Sleep Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Jordan University Hospital, Amman, Jordan"},{"name":"School of Medicine, The University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4754-9872","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Asim N.","family":"Khanfar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, The University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3806-2859","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad A.","family":"Alshrouf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, The University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan"}]},{"given":"Muayad I.","family":"Azzam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, The University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4366-9620","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tala A.","family":"Haddad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, The University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan"}]},{"given":"Omar N.","family":"Khanfar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Jordan University of Science and Technology, Irbid, Jordan"}]},{"given":"Zaid M.","family":"Al-Tarawneh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Mutah University, Al-Karak, Jordan"}]},{"given":"Shereen M.","family":"Aleidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biopharmaceutics and Clinical Pharmacy, School of Pharmacy, The University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-03000605221128151","unstructured":"Dion CF, Ashurst JV.
