The aim of this study was to investigate among adolescents in Antwerp their knowledge about vaccination and to describe their information sources, motives and barriers for vaccination.
In March 2009, adolescents aged between 14 and 17 years from three schools with a mixed Belgian and immigrant population in Antwerp completed a written questionnaire concerning vaccination. The questionnaire was already used and validated in a study in five European countries: France, Italy, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom.
In total 186 adolescents completed the questionnaire. Most of them (93%) knew that vaccination is a method to prevent disease. Most adolescents knew about the existence of vaccines against tetanus (94%), hepatitis B (91%) and human papillomavirus (87%). The most important sources for information were the family physician (83%), the school (79%) and the parents (70%). Their knowledge about vaccinations was not related to courses about vaccination at school.
The physician, the school and the parents play a key role in the vaccination of adolescents. Our results are in many aspects similar to those in the other European countries.
本研究旨在调查安特卫普青少年对疫苗接种的了解情况，并描述他们的信息来源、接种动机和接种障碍。
2009年3月，来自安特卫普三所比利时学生与移民学生混合的学校、年龄在14至17岁之间的青少年完成了一份关于疫苗接种的书面问卷。该问卷已在法国、意大利、西班牙、德国和英国这五个欧洲国家的一项研究中使用并经过验证。
共有186名青少年完成了问卷。他们中的大多数人（93%）知道疫苗接种是预防疾病的一种方法。大多数青少年知道破伤风疫苗（94%）、乙肝疫苗（91%）和人乳头瘤病毒疫苗（87%）的存在。最重要的信息来源是家庭医生（83%）、学校（79%）和父母（70%）。他们对疫苗接种的了解与学校开设的疫苗接种课程无关。
医生、学校和父母在青少年疫苗接种中起着关键作用。我们的研究结果在许多方面与其他欧洲国家的研究结果相似。
