Vaccine hesitancy and the COVID-19 pandemic may threaten immunization coverage in children. This study aimed to evaluate the tailored educational videos to reduce vaccine hesitancy and analyze immunization completeness status. The investigators conducted an interventional quasi-experimental study in three subdistricts of North Jakarta, Indonesia. Participants were allocated into the intervention and control groups, and the Parent Attitudes about Childhood Vaccines (PACV) questionnaire was used to assess vaccine hesitancy status before and after the intervention.
