This study identified vaccine-hesitant mothers and explored their beliefs. Tailored, science-based educational materials improved vaccine acceptance by addressing information gaps with healthcare providers.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Communication
  • Vaccinology

Background:

  • Maternal vaccine hesitancy poses a public health challenge.
  • Understanding mothers' attitudes and beliefs is crucial for improving immunization rates.
  • Healthcare providers are key sources of immunization information for mothers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify mothers with vaccine hesitancy ('Worried' and 'Fencesitter' profiles).
  • To explore mothers' vaccine attitudes, beliefs, and provider interactions.
  • To evaluate draft and revised educational materials for improving vaccine acceptance.

Main Methods:

  • Two-phase focus group study (Phase 1: n=17 groups, Phase 2: n=12 groups) across three US cities.
  • Screening questions used to identify target maternal groups.

  • Qualitative feedback collected on educational brochures.

    • Main Results:

    • Perceived vaccine necessity and safety significantly influenced mothers' immunization decisions.
    • Mothers rely on healthcare providers but desire more comprehensive vaccination information.
    • Revised educational materials were positively received for relevance and respectful communication.

    Conclusions:

    • Science-based, tailored immunization materials can support healthcare providers.
    • Improved communication strategies may enhance vaccine acceptance among hesitant mothers.
    • Addressing specific maternal concerns is vital for effective public health interventions.
