Not only the general public, but also those studying to become health professionals, are struggling to keep up with a growing body of evidence and increasingly complex information about the many different types of vaccines available to date. At the same time, a number of increasingly complex subjects of study are competing for their attention during undergraduate and graduate education. In many medical school curricula in German-speaking countries, the subject of vaccines has been entirely omitted, or is regarded a minor subtopic. During the studies, most medical school curricula in German-speaking countries do not offer obligatory courses and/ or hands-on training vaccinology in vaccination. In Germany, private pediatricians administer the majority of immunizations. Even during postgraduate training programs in pediatrics, which are largely hospital-based, vaccinations are rarely a topic, and vaccinology remains a "hobby" and a "field without lobby" lacking specific certification requirements. Studies of acceptance of vaccines among health professionals and medical students have shown that many may still have their own doubts and uncertainties about vaccines revealing a number of unanswered questions during their studies and postgraduate training.
不仅普通大众，那些正在学习成为健康专业人员的人也在努力跟上日益增多的证据以及有关迄今为止可用的多种不同类型疫苗的日益复杂的信息。与此同时，在本科和研究生教育期间，一些日益复杂的研究主题也在争夺他们的注意力。在德语国家的许多医学院课程中，疫苗主题已被完全省略，或被视为一个次要的子主题。在学习期间，德语国家的大多数医学院课程都不提供疫苗学的必修课和/或实际操作培训。在德国，大多数免疫接种由私人儿科医生进行。即使在主要以医院为基础的儿科研究生培训项目中，疫苗接种也很少成为一个话题，疫苗学仍然是一个“业余爱好”和一个缺乏特定认证要求的“没有游说团体的领域”。对健康专业人员和医学生中疫苗接受情况的研究表明，许多人在学习和研究生培训期间可能仍然对疫苗有自己的疑问和不确定性，这揭示了一些未解决的问题。
