摘要："Background: Despite evidence re-garding the crucial beneficial effects of vaccines, vaccination has not been carried up to the mark across the globe. The latent issue of vaccine hesitancy for new emerging vaccine leading to vaccine refusals has not been widely addressed particularly in the Indian context. Objectives: The present study was conducted to find out the proportion and factors contributing to vaccine hesitancy for childhood vaccina-tions in urban area. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 712 children of 9 months to up to 15 years old and adolescent residing in urban areas. Associations were analyzed using percentage proportion, lo-gistic regression and by student ‘t’ test. Results: 140 (19.7%) of the families were vaccine hesitant and 572 (80.3%) were not hesitant. Nuclear families, mothers of lower educa-tional status and have history of in-complete previous immunization had significantly higher odds of vaccine hesitancy. Lacks of trust / fear of new vaccination (42.1%) and Reluctance to new vaccine (37.8%) were the major reasons cited for vaccine hesitancy. Conclusion: Along this spectrum of indecision, there is a range of vac-cine uptake, depending on addi-tional influences that move an indi-vidual toward or away from ulti-mately accepting a particular vac-cine.
