        "abstract": "Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the variables that influenced a sample of Omani mothers’ support for mandatory COVID-19 vaccines for children. The vaccination against COVID-19 averted millions of fatalities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, a considerable number of parents and caregivers opposed mandating COVID-19 vaccines for children. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at several healthcare facilities in Oman using a structured questionnaire between February and March 2022. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were used to analyse the data. Results: A total of 700 Omani mothers (response rate = 73.4%) who had children aged 5–11 years old were included. The median age of the mothers was 38 ± 5.19 years. The results of multivariable logistic regression were generally consistent with those of the univariable analysis except for age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.06, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.58–1.93; P = 0.86) and income (OR = 1.09, 95% CI: 0.58–2.03; P = 0.79). Mothers who were vaccine hesitant (OR = 9.82, 95% CI: 5.27–18.28; P"
