父母拒绝接种疫苗是一个日益关注的问题，因为儿童中疫苗可预防疾病的发生率增加。一些研究调查了父母拒绝、推迟或犹豫给孩子接种疫苗的原因。这些原因在父母之间差异很大，但它们可以包含在4个主要类别中。这4个类别是宗教原因、个人信仰或哲学原因、安全问题以及希望从医疗保健提供者那里获得更多信息。父母对每一类疫苗的担忧导致了各种各样的决定，从父母完全拒绝所有疫苗接种到只是推迟疫苗接种，以便它们更加分散。很多父母承认对儿童接种疫苗有担忧和疑问。出于这个原因，它可以帮助药剂师和其他医疗保健提供者了解所引用的犹豫的原因，使他们更好地准备教育他们的病人的家人。教育是向父母提供必要信息的关键因素，使他们能够为子女作出负责任的免疫接种决定。
Parental refusal of vaccines is a growing a concern for the increased occurrence of vaccine preventable diseases in children. A number of studies have looked into the reasons that parents refuse, delay, or are hesitant to vaccinate their child(ren). These reasons vary widely between parents, but they can be encompassed in 4 overarching categories. The 4 categories are religious reasons, personal beliefs or philosophical reasons, safety concerns, and a desire for more information from healthcare providers. Parental concerns about vaccines in each category lead to a wide spectrum of decisions varying from parents completely refusing all vaccinations to only delaying vaccinations so that they are more spread out. A large subset of parents admits to having concerns and questions about childhood vaccinations. For this reason, it can be helpful for pharmacists and other healthcare providers to understand the cited reasons for hesitancy so they are better prepared to educate their patients' families. Education is a key player in equipping parents with the necessary information so that they can make responsible immunization decisions for their children.
