Background and purpose: Considering the need to contain and manage the great challenge of the
Covid-19 pandemic in the public health of most countries and the adverse psychological effects of the
spread of this disease in children with special needs and their caregivers, it is necessary for experts to
vaccinate these children. ; But because children's vaccination is subject to parents' consent, planning
to prepare caregivers' minds helps a lot to solve this challenge. The aim of the study is to investigate the
demographic characteristics and attitude of parents to be vaccinated against covid-19.
Method: Using available sampling method, 187 parents of children with special needs under 12 years of age
completed a cross-sectional survey online in a period of three months. Finally, the demographic evaluation
and its relationship with the parents' views of children with special needs regarding injection were done
using SPSS software and descriptive analysis and variance analysis model and chi-square test.
Findings: The results showed that almost 67% of parents planned to vaccinate their child against Covid-19.
In this analytical model, positive beliefs about vaccines, lack of beliefs about vaccine harm, trust in health
care providers, and parents' vaccination status were inversely related to vaccination intention.
Conclusion: Despite parents' trust in the recommendations of children's health care providers, the findings
showed that relying on trusted relationships alone may not be enough and additional education is needed to
strengthen vaccine trust.
