“…The occurrence of doubts about the need for vaccines, the fear of possible adverse events, the dissemination of misinformation, in addition to philosophical and religious beliefs, have created situations in which families and healthcare professionals have doubts about the need of vaccines. [25][26][27][28] Even if only 33.3% of women who declared immunization acceptance, have received information about the vaccine from health-care workers, several authors 12,28-31 do not agree on identifying that professionals as the main resources to implement correct knowledge on the topic.…”
