American, 19 Feb. 2015, www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-to-get-more-parents-

to-vaccinate-their-kids/. In this article it talks about how too many kids are going without

needed vaccines that protect them against measles, whopping cough and other

preventable diseases. The problem is that the public health officials believed, was that

parents lacked accurate medical information and held misguided beliefs that the vaccines

were not necessary. They come up with a program to get parents to join and learn more

about what vaccines actually does your kids and how it prevents them from getting sick.

“What's the Best Way to Get Parents to Vaccinate Their Kids?” Debating Europe, 16 May

2018, www.debatingeurope.eu/2018/05/16/what-is-the-best-way-to-get-parents-to-

vaccinate-their-kids/#.XKqJfutKgzU. They are trying to make vaccines mandatory so

parents don’t have the rights to say no them. Over 21,000 Europeans were affected by

measles in 2017, and there were 35 deaths. Across the EU, governments are desperately

trying to encourage parents to have their children vaccinated against common diseases
 such as measles. For example, France has made vaccinations compulsory from this year,

while the Italian government has banned children from attending state schools if they

haven’t been vaccinated.

Investigation of Australian Primary Care Providers' Experiences.” BMC Pediatrics,

BioMed Central, 17 Jan. 2017, bmcpediatr.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12887-

017-0783-2. The background of the article is that the experience and the perceptions of

parents who decline vaccination are the subject of investigation. The experience the

clinicians who encounter these parents in the course of their work has received little

academic attention. The methods that have used were they interviewed parents and talked

about why they don’t vaccinate their kids and the interviewers talked about the benefits

of vaccinating kids.

Glanz J, et al. JAMA. 2018; 319(9):906-913. Authors have looked at whether there was a

connection between acquiring an infection that is not targeted by vaccines and exposure

to antigens through vaccines. Nine hundred ninety-four children were studied from age

24 months to age 47 months of those, 193 were seen in an emergency department

infection that was not targeted by vaccines.

Newsroom, 3 Aug. 2015, newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/how-to-convince-vaccine-skeptics-

and-how-not-to. To many people who are skeptical about vaccinating their children can

be convinced to do so, only if the argument is presented in a certain way. Team from the

psychologists from UCLA and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign reported

today. In the new study 315 adults from throughout the U.S. were randomly divided into

three groups. One third of the participant’s held very favorable attitudes towards

vaccines, while about two-thirds expressed some degree of skepticism.

Doctors, nurses, physician assistants and office staff all play a key role in establishing

and maintaining a practice-wide commitment to communicating effectively about

vaccines and maintaining high vaccination rates. Methods for parents to vaccinating their

kids are give strong recommendation, share your strong vaccine recommendation, listen

and respond, if parents refuse to vaccinate, continue the conversation about vaccines

during the next visit, inform parents about clinical presentations of vaccine-preventable

diseases, including early symptoms.
