Read about a new study that found many parents are still hesitant to give their children routine childhood and influenza vaccines and ways medical professionals can help the conversation.
With researchers and experts still looking to find immunization for COVID-19, vaccines have been at the forefront of conversations across the country. But, one national study is finding that many parents are still hesitant about routine childhood immunizations.on June 15, 2020, found that 6.1 percent of parents were hesitant about routine childhood vaccinations, while close to 26 percent were hesitant about the flu vaccine.
According to the study, those that had less than a bachelor’s degree tended to be more skeptical of the vaccinations. Researchers didn’t find race and ethnicity to play a major role, but they found Latinx parents were less hesitant than white parents about getting the flu vaccine. While the flu vaccine is not 100 percent effective, Kempe said, even in a year where it isn’t well-matched to the circulating strains, the vaccine did lessen the severity of the flu. Last year, the World Health Organization reported vaccine hesitancy was one of the ten leading threats to global health.as one of the ten leading threats to global health. Plus, as of 2018-2019, only 57.9 percent of American kids were vaccinated against the flu.
According to Kempe, understanding the reasons behind the hesitancy can help the issue. The study suggests focusing on changing behaviour rather than directly countering beliefs or attitudes. Some examples of this include strong and presumptive recommendations by a trusted provider, easier delivery of vaccines to clinics and schools, reminders and calls, enacting preschool and school flu vaccine requirements.
