The Vaccine Barriers Assessment Tool (VBAT): a vaccine acceptance and barriers tool for optimisation of vaccine uptake for parents of children under the age of five

由于最近的政策变化以及国家和国际上对公众支持疫苗接种的新威胁，澳大利亚从来没有像现在这样迫切需要一种有效的工具来监测五岁以下儿童接受疫苗的障碍。需要这样一种工具来改善(i)影响深远和资源密集的政策决定的质量，（ii）疫苗运动的设计和评估，以及（iii）免疫接种提供者与家长之间的疫苗对话。

With recent policy changes and emerging national and international threats to public support for vaccination, a validated tool to monitor barriers to vaccine acceptance in children under five years has never been so critically needed in Australia. Such a tool is needed to improve (i) the quality of far-reaching and resource-intensive policy decisions, (ii) the design and evaluation of vaccine campaigns and (iii) vaccine conversations between immunisation providers and parents.
