When parents won’t vaccinate their children: a qualitative investigation of australian primary care providers’ experiences

摘要

BackgroundIncreasingly, the experiences and perceptions of parents who decline vaccination are the subject of investigation. However, the experiences of clinicians who encounter these parents in the course of their work has received little academic attention to date. This study aimed to understand the challenges faced and strategies used when general practitioners and immunising nurses encounter parents who choose not to vaccinate their children.
