We used in-depth interviews with 23 mothers of babies aged 1-2 years to explore their response to the addition of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine to the primary schedule. Acceptability of the vaccine was principally attributable to maternal perceptions as to the severity of meningitis, with a tendency to overestimate the efficacy of the vaccine. Advice from health professionals and the behaviour of peers contributed to its acceptance. Barriers to the uptake of the vaccine included suspicion regarding the newness of the vaccine, a fear of vaccine overload in such young babies, and the distress of two separate injections. There may be a limit to the number of antigens, and particularly the number of injections, acceptable to mothers.
我们对23位1至2岁婴儿的母亲进行了深入访谈，以探究她们对在主要疫苗接种程序中添加b型流感嗜血杆菌（Hib）疫苗的反应。疫苗的可接受性主要归因于母亲对脑膜炎严重程度的认知，她们往往高估了疫苗的效力。来自卫生专业人员的建议和同龄人的行为促成了疫苗的接受。疫苗接种的障碍包括对新疫苗的怀疑、对如此小的婴儿疫苗接种过量的担忧，以及两次分开注射带来的痛苦。母亲们可接受的抗原数量，尤其是注射次数，可能存在限制。
