Recent concerns about childhood vaccines such as the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine have led to reduced vaccine uptake and increased probability of disease outbreaks. Psychological aspects of parental decision-making about vaccines are reviewed. Inconsistencies and gaps in the literature are highlighted and implications of what is known for public health are outlined. A decision theory model of the decision to vaccinate fits the facts well and generates practical strategies for uptake of MMR and similar childhood vaccines.
近期对诸如麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹（MMR）疫苗等儿童疫苗的担忧导致疫苗接种率下降，疾病爆发的可能性增加。本文回顾了父母在疫苗接种决策方面的心理因素。文中强调了文献中的不一致之处和空白，并概述了已知信息对公共卫生的影响。疫苗接种决策的决策理论模型与事实相符，并为MMR及类似儿童疫苗的接种产生了切实可行的策略。
