The negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is well estabilished in the literature. Mass vaccination seems to be a promising measure to control community transmission. However, many studies pointed out people are hesitant to accept the vaccine in the Indian setting. The growing human rights concerns, anti-vaccine movement, and skepticism towards the vaccine and its effects may result in the process of vaccination becoming a complicated task. However, no studies were conducted to analyze the parent’s perception regarding the COVID-19 vaccine, especially in a health care worker context. This crosssectional descriptive study was conducted in selected hospital settings in North India. The health care workers (nurses and sanitary attendants) with children of age less than 16 years were recruited based on the convenience sampling method and a self- administered version of the standard scales was used for the data collection. Most of the subjects were females (n=166; 66.7%) and nursing professionals (n=156; 62.7%). The majority of the subjects expressed a positive attitude regarding vaccination for their children based on the belief in the beneficial effects of vaccination 48.59%. Strikingly, around 46% of the parents have the attitude that their child may have some unforeseen future effects from the covid-19 vaccine 46.58%. This was evident in their views in which many subjects were uncertain to send their children to school 37.75% and expressed that the COVID 19 vaccine was rapidly developed and approved 51.4%. The attitude towards adolescent COVID 19 vaccination during a pandemic is complex and incompletely understood. It is very important to understand the myriad of concerns and negative attitudes to formulate strategies to mitigate the ill effects of the pandemic
