为了控制脑膜炎奈瑟菌菌株W感染的上升，在2018-2019年期间，荷兰启动了针对青少年（13-18岁）的脑膜炎球菌结合物（MenACWY）疫苗接种运动。应用心理模型方法，我们调查了青少年及其父母对脑膜炎球菌病的知识和信念，MenACWY疫苗接种，一般疫苗接种，以及他们的MenACWY疫苗接种意向。使用随机森林分析，我们研究了知识和信念对疫苗接种意图的预测。青少年的调查应答率为52.8%，父母的应答率为59.4%。MenACWY疫苗接种意向最好的预测一般疫苗接种的知识和信念，超过知识和信念脑膜炎球菌疾病和MenACWY疫苗接种。对青少年而言，父母希望青少年接种疫苗的意愿对青少年自身的接种意愿有较强的预测作用。为了在未来的疫情中优化疫苗接种，我们建议在宣传中强调疫苗的有效性和安全性，并继续关注父母。
To control the rise in Neisseria meningitidis strain W infections, during 2018-2019, the Netherlands launched a catch-up meningococcal conjugate (MenACWY) vaccination campaign for teenagers (13-18 years of age). Applying a mental models approach, we surveyed teenagers and their parents about their knowledge and beliefs about meningococcal disease, the MenACWY vaccination, vaccinations in general, and their MenACWY vaccination intentions. Using random forest analysis, we studied predictions of vaccination intentions by knowledge and beliefs. Survey response rate was 52.8% among teenagers and 59.4% among parents. MenACWY vaccination intentions were best predicted by knowledge and beliefs about vaccinations in general, surpassing knowledge and beliefs about meningococcal disease and the MenACWY vaccination. For teenagers, their parents' intention that the teenager be vaccinated was a strong predictor of the teenagers' own vaccination intention. To optimize vaccination uptake during future outbreaks, we recommend that communications emphasize the effectiveness and safety of vaccines and continue to focus on parents.
