aPR: adjusted prevalence ratio; CI: confidence interval; NH: non-Hispanic.

All percentages are weighted.

--variables were not included in multivariable regression model.

a

Booster data not available for children <5 years.

b

Vaccination status is collected for any children in the household; thus, to examine age-specific vaccination status, analyses were limited to parents with only children in those age groups.

c

Regression model adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, educational status, annual household income, insurance status, parental COVID-19 vaccination, prior COVID-19 infection, region (for all age-specific vaccination models), and number of children in household (only for model with all children and adolescents).
