“…One study of 2009 H1N1 pandemic influenza vaccine uptake found that mass media exposure but not consultation with a medical professional was significantly associated with vaccine uptake. 13 In addition, we found that hearing about influenza vaccine in the media prompted parents to talk to their adolescent's doctor about influenza was associated with receiving the influenza vaccine the previous fall/winter. The recommendation of one's own physician has been shown to be a key factor in a parents' decision to accept vaccination for their child, [16][17][18][19] and how this interacts with messages from the media deserves further study.…”

“…21 Another study found a significant association between parents vaccinating their children against the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic and watching national television news. 13 Research on another adolescent recommended vaccine, the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, also supports the hypothesis that media exposure influences vaccination. In-depth interviews with mothers revealed that exposure to media and marketing about HPV vaccination played a crucial role in their decision to vaccinate their daughters by raising awareness about the vaccine, providing facts about the vaccine and its benefits, prompting discussions with their daughters, and encouraging them to seek more information.…”

“…10 Complex processes govern parents' decision-making process regarding vaccination and the data is mixed in terms of the role that information alone plays. [11][12][13][14] The literature indicates that people with greater access to media information and who obtain sufficient information by actively researching that information tend to have a higher rate of vaccine uptake than those with less access or those who are less active in their search. 8,15 Vaccine-related information can come from several sources.…”

In 2011-2012, only 34% of 13-17 years olds in the United States (US) received seasonal influenza vaccine. Little is known about the link between parents' sources of health information, their vaccine-related attitudes, and vaccination of their adolescent against influenza. This study seeks to determine the relationship between number of sources of information on influenza vaccine, parental attitudes toward influenza vaccine, and influenza vaccine uptake in adolescents. We conducted a telephone and web-based survey among US parents of students enrolled in 6 middle and 5 high schools in Georgia. Bivariate and multivariable analyses were conducted to examine associations between the number of information sources about influenza vaccine and vaccine receipt and whether parent vaccine-related attitudes act as a mediator. The most commonly reported sources of information were: a physician/medical professional (95.0%), a family member or friend (80.6%), and television (77.2%). Parents who had higher attitude scores toward influenza vaccine were 5 times as likely to report their adolescent had ever received influenza vaccine compared to parents who had lower attitude scores (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 5.1; 95% confidence intervals (CI) 3.1-8.4; P < 0.01). Parent vaccine-related attitudes were a significant mediator of the relationship between sources of information and vaccine receipt. In light of the low response rate and participation in an adolescent vaccination intervention, findings may not be generalizable to other populations. This study shows the importance of multiple sources of information in influencing parental decision-making about influenza vaccine for adolescents. Harnessing the power of mass media and family members and friends as health advocates for influenza vaccination can potentially help increase vaccination coverage of adolescents.

BackgroundDuring public health emergencies, public officials are busy in developing communication strategies to protect the population from existing or potential threats. However, a population’s social and individual determinants (i.e. education, income, race/ethnicity) may lead to inequalities in individual or group-specific exposure to public health communication messages, and in the capacity to access, process, and act upon the information received by specific sub-groups- a concept defined as communication inequalities.The aims of this literature review are to: 1) characterize the scientific literature that examined issues related to communication to the public during the H1N1 pandemic, and 2) summarize the knowledge gained in our understanding of social determinants and their association with communication inequalities in the preparedness and response to an influenza pandemic.MethodsArticles were searched in eight major communication, social sciences, and health and medical databases of scientific literature and reviewed by two independent reviewers by following the PRISMA guidelines. The selected articles were classified and analyzed in accordance with the Structural Influence Model of Public Health Emergency Preparedness Communications.ResultsA total of 118 empirical studies were included for final review. Among them, 78% were population-based studies and 22% were articles that employed information environment analyses techniques. Consistent results were reported on the association between social determinants of communication inequalities and emergency preparedness outcomes. Trust in public officials and source of information, worry and levels of knowledge about the disease, and routine media exposure as well as information-seeking behaviors, were related to greater likelihood of adoption of recommended infection prevention practices. When addressed in communication interventions, these factors can increase the effectiveness of the response to pandemics.ConclusionsConsistently across studies, a number of potential predictors of behavioral compliance to preventive recommendations during a pandemic were identified. Our findings show the need to include such evidence found in the development of future communication campaigns to ensure the highest rates of compliance with recommended protection measures and reduce communication inequalities during future emergencies.

“…Of note, participants who cited vaccine sources such as the news or television were actually less likely to have been immunized against pertussis. Prior studies assessing the effects of news and television on immunization behaviors have shown the potential for improving vaccine uptake by raising awareness of infection and benefits of vaccination, possibly indicating the need for more media support of pertussis vaccination to be effective in improving awareness [15,16]. On the other hand, Tam reported that an educational intervention designed to increase awareness and knowledge of pertussis among family members was effective in increasing participant knowledge but not their actual vaccine uptake [17].…”
