近年来，随着疾病威胁的减少，父母对疫苗安全性的担忧也在增加。一项全国性的调查显示，一般来说，父母都认为疫苗对他们的孩子有益，如果不接种疫苗，他们的孩子可能有感染疾病的风险。当被问及了解疫苗的好处和风险时，大多数父母（57%）认为数字和统计数据最有帮助。有相当一部分（17%）的父母对疫苗的安全性有些信心或没有信心。对疫苗安全性不太有信心的父母不太同意他们通常听从孩子医生建议的说法。收入和教育水平影响答复。对疫苗安全性的信心和对医生建议的依赖之间的这种正相关关系可能表明，医疗保健提供者需要确定机会（1）征求有关疫苗安全性的问题，（2）以对父母有意义的方式解决疫苗安全性相关问题，（3）加强医患关系。提出了一种家长沟通工具。
In recent years, parental concerns about vaccine safety have increased as the threat of disease has decreased. A national survey showed that, in general, parents agree that vaccines benefit their children and that their children may be at risk for contracting a disease if unvaccinated. When asked about understanding the benefits and risks of vaccines, most parents (57%) found numbers and statistics most helpful. A substantial minority (17%) of parents were somewhat or not confident in vaccine safety. Parents less confident in vaccine safety agreed less with the statement that they usually followed the advice of their child's doctor. Incomes and education levels affected responses. This positive relationship between confidence in vaccine safety and reliance on doctors for advice may indicate the need for healthcare providers to identify opportunities to (1) solicit questions about vaccine safety, (2) address vaccine safety-related questions in a way meaningful to parents, and (3) strengthen doctor-patient relationships. A parent communication tool is proposed.
