Getting teens vaccinated against COVID-19 is a major public health goal, but what would make families more comfortable with the idea? A new survey in the United States went straight to the source, asking both adolescents and their parents what factors would increase their willingness to get the shot. The survey didn't test any specific intervention or message—it simply asked people what they wanted to see or know. The main results of this survey haven't been made public yet, so we don't know exactly what families said. We also don't know how many people were surveyed or how they were chosen, which makes it hard to know if their views represent the whole country. This report is a starting point for a conversation, not a finished guide. It highlights the questions experts are asking, but we'll need to see the actual findings to understand what might truly help.

What this means for you:
