This study involves conducting a telephonic or in person survey regarding parental perception and attitudes about vaccinating the respective "technology dependent" child with the COVID 19 vaccination. "Technology dependent" includes tracheostomy dependence, artificial ventilator dependence and non invasive mechanical ventilation dependence. This population is vulnerable since most patients have underlying lung disease, chronic respiratory failure and require respiratory equipment to assist with breathing. "Technology dependent" patients are particularly vulnerable to respiratory infections and are considered high risk for developing severe COVID 19 illness. Despite this population's high risk for morbidity and mortality from respiratory viral infections, the investigator hypothesize that 50% of the parents are still vaccine hesitant.
