“…New technology-based delivery approaches with alternative presentation of “plain language” materials holds significant promise to help inform and educate parents. These approaches help address concerns outside time-constrained clinical visits and reduce time needed to absorb information [20–22]. …”

Objective We examined Vaccine Information Statements (VIS) dissemination practices and parental use and perceptions. Methods We conducted a national online panel survey of 2603 US parents of children aged <7. Primary outcomes included reported VIS receipt, delivery timing, reading experiences, and perceived utility. Results Most parents received a VIS (77.2%; [95% CI: 74.5–79.7%]), 59.7% [56.6–62.7%] before vaccination but 14.5% [12.5–16.8%] reported receiving it after their child’s immunization; 15.1% [13.0–17.6%] were unsure of receipt status or timing; another 10.7% [9.0–12.6%] reported non-receipt of a VIS. Less than half who received a VIS before vaccination completed it before vaccination (46.2% [42.4, 50.0%]), but most who read at least some found the information useful (95.7% [93.8–97.0%]). Parents who delayed or refused at least one recommended non-influenza vaccine reported fewer opportunities to ask providers VIS questions. Conclusions Most parents report receiving VIS before vaccination as per federal guidelines. Continued effort is needed to enhance VIS distribution practice and parent-provider VIS content communication.

“…Several states, for example, require parents to submit documentation that they received information about the benefits and risks of vaccination from health care providers before opting out (37). Similar informational steps and application processes might be added to existing and future HPV vaccine school-entry requirement laws to reduce the likelihood that parents will opt-out vaccination solely for convenience.…”

Background The number of states proposing school-entry requirements for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination has increased over the last decade. However, data are currently limited regarding parents' support of such laws. We sought to obtain the first national estimates of parents' support of HPV vaccination school-entry requirements. Methods A national sample of 1501 parents of 11- to 17-year-old children completed a web-based survey between November 2014 and January 2015. Analyses used multivariable logistic regression to assess correlates of support for school-entry requirements for HPV vaccination. Results Overall, 21% of parents agreed that laws requiring HPV vaccination for school attendance "are a good idea," and 54% disagreed. If school-entry requirements included opt-out provisions, agreement increased to 57%, and only 21% disagreed. Parents more often agreed with requirements without opt-out provisions if they were Hispanic (OR=1.53, 95% CI: 1.05–2.22), believed HPV vaccine was as or more important than other adolescent vaccines (OR=2.76, 95% CI: 1.98–3.83), or believed HPV vaccine was effective for preventing cervical cancer (OR=2.55, 95% CI: 1.93–3.37). Parents less often agreed if they resided in Midwest states or believed that HPV vaccine was being pushed to make money for drug companies (both p<.05). Conclusion Opt-out provisions almost tripled parents' support for HPV vaccine school-entry requirements. Our findings suggest that race/ethnicity, attitudes about HPV vaccine, and region of residence may influence support for requirements without opt-out provisions. Impact Opt-out provisions greatly increase parent support of school-entry requirements for HPV vaccination but may make them ineffective.

The proponents argue that a mandatory vaccination strategy to achieve universal coverage promotes herd immunity to an immunizable health condition in a cost‐effective manner .…”

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the willingness of reproductive-aged women in a Nigerian community to allow human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in their children and the associated factors with this decision. Material and Methods: A multistage household survey of 1002 women who participated in the HPV Vaccine and Cervical Cancer Prevention Survey from 26 August to 29 September 2012 at Ibadan North Local Government Area, Mokola Ibadan, Nigeria. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariable analyses were performed, and statistical significance was set at 95% confidence level (CI). Results: There was high willingness (88.6%) to vaccinate, and this attitude was associated with previous history of genital discharge or sores (adjusted odds ratio, 1.91; 95%CI, 1.05-3.45), and knowledge that cervical cancer is preventable (adjusted odds ratio, 1.67; 95%CI, 1.07-2.59). On the likely acceptability of Nigerian HPV vaccine policy, about two-thirds strongly agreed to its incorporation into the routine immunization program (66.9%), it being free (66.7%) and mandatory (64.3%), amongst other factors. The commonest concerns raised were cost/expenses (10.2%), that it might encourage promiscuity (9.9%), or stimulate early sexual debut (6.7%), and fear of infertility (6.3%). Conclusion: This study found that the majority of Nigerian women are willing to vaccinate their children against HPV infection and would prefer free universal HPV vaccination with regulation to ensure better uptake. The concerns expressed would need to be addressed by policy-makers to increase its acceptability.
