CHICAGO - The majority of Chicago parents are in favor of COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

A new study by Lurie Children's Hospital found 55% of parents support a school vaccine mandate.

The survey found fathers were more supportive of mandates than mothers.

Families below the poverty line were also less likely to support this compared to parents with college degrees.
