“…Some of them are restricted to only one or a few vaccines (Brown et al 2010) or to nonchildhood vaccines (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control 2013; Hendry et al 2013;Trim et al 2012) or focus on developed geographical areas (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control 2013;Falagas and Zarkadoulia 2008) or include only qualitative studies (Mills et al 2005a). Rainey et al 2011 covers a relatively short and old time period (1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009), limiting the evidence to only published studies and explores ''reasons and factors'' (rather than focusing on concerns) related to nonvaccination and under-vaccination in general.…”

Objectives Concerns about vaccination lead to under-and no-vaccination. Our objective is to synthesise and expose evidence on individuals' and communities' concerns about vaccination to influence current debates on strategies to improve vaccination coverage in low-and middle-income countries. Methods Systematic literature review till February 2014, following standard methods. Published and grey literature that focused on individuals and community concerns on childhood vaccinations were selected. Results 44 quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods studies were included. Main reported concerns referred to perceptions of vaccine harms (e.g. attribution of fatal events). Other concerns included programme distrust (mainly due to rumours and conspiracies) and health system unfriendliness. Conclusions Concerns about vaccination are widespread and further worsen the challenges related to programmatic and health system barriers to vaccination. There is a disconnection between qualitative and quantitative research which misses the opportunity to quantify what is reported in the former. Strikingly, there is a wealth of evidence on concerns but much lesser evidence on interventions to address them. We welcome World Health Organization initiative to tackle vaccine hesitancy and call for the synthesis of evidence and production of guidance on strategies to address concerns on vaccination.

“…Thus, based on the previous studies from various international contexts, it is well understood that parents' decisions to vaccinate against HPV is a complex and multifactorial process. [28][29][30][31] Despite this seemingly rich literature on the topic, the degree to which each of these factors as well as variations in public policy contexts contribute to parental decisions remains largely unclear. One major limitation of the literature is that few studies, with some exceptions, 11,22,32 use a theoretical framework to inform their hypotheses.…”

Vaccination against the human papillomavirus (HPV) is an effective primary prevention measure for HPV-related diseases. For children and young adolescents, the uptake of the vaccine is contingent on parental consent. This study sought to identify key differences between parents who obtain (acceptors) and parents who refuse (non-acceptors) the HPV vaccine for their daughters. In the context of a free, universal, school-based HPV vaccination program in Qu ebec, 774 parents of 9-10 year-old girls completed and returned a questionnaire by mail. The questionnaire was based on the theoretical constructs of the Health Belief Model (HBM), along with constructs from other theoretical frameworks. Of the 774 parents, 88.2% reported their daughter having received the HPV vaccine. Perceived susceptibility of daughters to HPV infection, perceived benefits of the vaccine, perceived barriers (including safety of the vaccine), and cues to action significantly distinguished between parents whose daughters had received the HPV vaccine and those whose daughters had not. Other significant factors associated with daughter vaccine uptake were parents' general vaccination attitudes, anticipated regret, adherence to other routinely recommended vaccines, social norms, and positive media influence. The results of this study identify a number of important correlates related to parents' decisions to accept or refuse the HPV vaccine uptake for their daughters. Future work may benefit from targeting such factors and incorporating other health behavior theories in the design of effective HPV vaccine uptake interventions.
