Plain Language Summary: Recently, COVID-19 infection in children has increased. Although most countries have not approved the COVID-19 vaccine for children, it is likely that they will do so. There is a clear need to explore caregivers' intentions and to understand potential hesitancy as means to inform vaccination policies. We found a relatively high caregivers' intention rate to have their children vaccinated against COVID-19, and caregivers' intentions to be vaccinated themselves was associated with their own decision to have their children vaccinated. In this study, older age, lower education level, belief that the COVID-19 vaccine was safe and effective, and residence in Hubei province were associated with increased odds of caregivers intending to have their children vaccinated. Policy makers should address caregivers' concerns about vaccine safety and encourage caregivers themselves to get vaccinated before they decide to have their children vaccinated.
