美国在使用疫苗预防严重的、通常是传染性的疾病方面取得了巨大的进步。但对疫苗安全性和免疫时间表日益复杂等问题的担忧，引发了人们对接种疫苗必要性的怀疑。我们通过回顾最近的调查数据，调查了父母对儿童疫苗的信心。我们发现，大多数父母--甚至是那些孩子接种了所有推荐疫苗的父母--对这些疫苗有疑问、担忧或误解。我们建议如何向父母提供他们需要的信息，并保持美国国家疫苗接种计划的成功。
The United States has made tremendous progress in using vaccines to prevent serious, often infectious, diseases. But concerns about such issues as vaccines' safety and the increasing complexity of immunization schedules have fostered doubts about the necessity of vaccinations. We investigated parents' confidence in childhood vaccines by reviewing recent survey data. We found that most parents-even those whose children receive all of the recommended vaccines-have questions, concerns, or misperceptions about them. We suggest ways to give parents the information they need and to keep the US national vaccination program a success.
