“…Parents also often cited family as a trusted information source for immunization decision-making. As demonstrated in other studies, families have a strong impact on decision-making due to strong interpersonal dynamics and shared histories of illness and prevention options (Bronfenbrenner 1994; Frew et al 2013, 2014). Thus, it is important that any vaccine messages and interventions also target information to families, as the potential for dissemination is highly likely to inform future immunization decisions (Frew et al 2014).…”

Objectives This study assessed influences on vaccination decisions among parents of young children and examined common vaccination information and advice sources. Methods Using panel samples of parents of children under 7 years, web-based surveys were conducted in 2012 (n = 2603) and 2014 (n = 2518). A vaccine decision-making typology (non-hesitant acceptors, hesitant acceptors, delayers, and refusers) was established and weighted population estimates of potential factors influencing parental vaccination decision (e.g., provider influence, source of information and advice) were computed by year and decision type. Results Delayers and refusers were more likely than acceptors to know someone whose child experienced a severe reaction to a vaccine or delayed/refused vaccine(s). High proportions of delayers (2012: 33.4%, 2014: 33.9%) and refusers (2012: 49.6%, 2014: 58.6%) reported selecting their healthcare provider based on whether the provider would allow them to delay/refuse vaccines. Providers were the most frequently reported trusted vaccine information source among all parents, though more often by acceptors than refusers (2012, 2014: p < 0.01). We found differing patterns of provider advice-seeking and internet as a reliable vaccine information source by group. Among those who had considered delay/refusal, trust in their healthcare provider’s advice was the most common reason cited for their decision reversal. Conclusions for Practice Provider trust and communication along with varying degrees of personal-network influences likely contribute to immunization decisions of parents. Vaccine hesitant parents often seek providers amenable to accommodating their vaccine beliefs. Providers may benefit from vaccine communication training as their recommendations may influence hesitant parents to immunize their children.

“…Elsewhere we have indicated that influenza immunization during pregnancy has a strong effect on women's subsequent intention to immunize infants. 32 Accordingly, we can expect that women with immunization experience are likely to be immunized in the future, including during pregnancy. In order to improve immunization rates among this population, vaccine messages must target women who have not received the seasonal influenza vaccine, encouraging these women to enter a regular pattern of influenza immunization.…”

“…Among studies in which parents were not specifically identified as vaccine-hesitant prior to the intervention, Frew et al evaluated the effect of using gain or loss-frame messaging to improve intent for infant influenza vaccination. 43 Framing health messages in terms of gains or losses can influence health decisions. Loss-framed messages are traditionally more effective for detecting illness while gain-framed messages are more effective with preventative health behaviors.…”
