Abstract
Vaccine hesitancy has increased all over the world and has been declared one of the top 10 health threats by WHO (2019). We investigated parental hesitancy to vaccinate children against COVID-19 in Italy and the role of misinformation in shaping attitudes towards hesitancy and willingness to receive a booster dose.
