    The parental decision to vaccinate children presents a specific cognitive and emotional challenge, which is further aggravated by the conditions of the Covid-19 epidemic and the general discourse on ... vaccination. It is estimated that the first vaccines for children against Covid-19 will be available in early 2022. In this study, we examined whether emotional-cognitive alertness (ECA) as a consequence of life circumstances due to the epidemic, the assessed credibility of information (CI) from various sources, which is the basis of trust, as well as the general attitude about vaccinating children unrelated to Covid-19, form intentions to vaccinate a child against Covid-19. The results indicate that the general attitude towards vaccination and ECA are the strongest predictors of the intention to vaccinate a child. This intention is not influenced by the estimated CI representatives of public health, and the connection with the physicians’ CI is negative. The epistemic authorities which traditionally represent one of the main supports for parents when deciding on vaccination have an altogether weaker impact than expected.
