Despite scientific evidence supporting the fact that vaccines are fundamental tools for preventing infectious diseases, a percentage of the population still refuses some or all of them. Vaccine hesitancy has become a widespread issue, and its complexity lies in the great variety of factors that can influence decisions about immunization, which are not just vaccine-related concerns, but also involve personal and societal levels. Our research group performed an extensive literature review to analyze: (1) different age groups, their relation to the problem and their characteristics; (2) the most important information (key messages) about immunization that could be used to counteract hesitancy; and (3) best approaches to transmit the messages to the target groups. We propose a long-term approach to overcome vaccine hesitancy that involves the education of children and adolescents on the basics about immunization and critical thinking, using different communication channels.
尽管有科学证据支持疫苗是预防传染病的基本工具这一事实，但仍有一定比例的人口拒绝接种部分或全部疫苗。疫苗犹豫已成为一个普遍问题，其复杂性在于影响免疫决策的因素多种多样，这些因素不仅涉及与疫苗相关的担忧，还涉及个人和社会层面。我们的研究小组进行了广泛的文献综述，以分析：（1）不同年龄组、他们与该问题的关系及其特征；（2）可用于消除犹豫的关于免疫的最重要信息（关键信息）；以及（3）向目标群体传达这些信息的最佳方法。我们提出了一种克服疫苗犹豫的长期方法，即通过不同的沟通渠道，对儿童和青少年进行免疫基础知识和批判性思维的教育。
