Vaccine Confidence & Addressing Concerns

An individual’s confidence in vaccines, either as a whole or individually, can be impacted by many factors, including cultural, social, and political influences.

Here we provide background information and practical resources to help medical professionals discuss immunization with concerned parents or patients. Because people question vaccination for different reasons, we have divided this section into several major topics.
