Abstract:
Parents trust their pediatric clinicians for up-to-date information about vaccines. To reduce vaccine hesitancy, clinics must promote confidence by building trust, communicating clearly, using patient safety and infection control principles to reduce errors, and reducing missed opportunities by having a vaccination infrastructure that makes every visit a vaccine visit. Education and communication must be consistent among all staff and culturally competent to optimize vaccine confidence. Parents have a role in seeking reliable resources, raising concerns, and seeking trusted, evidence-based experts for vaccination conversations. Safe, effective vaccines are vital; however, vaccination, a complex operational process, prevents disease and saves lives.
