A survey was conducted in a general pediatric practice to determine parents' attitudes to and compliance with the recommended Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine program. Of 133 families surveyed 127 (95%) responded to the questionnaire. About one third of the parents did not have their children vaccinated. The decision against vaccination was made despite parent education, follow-up telephone contact and the pediatrician's expressed support of the vaccine program. Most of the respondents (86%) had no previous knowledge of the vaccine. The factor of greatest concern was the possibility of an adverse reaction. This concern was significantly more common among the parents who decided not to have their children vaccinated than among those who had their children vaccinated (chi 2 = 6.52, p less than 0.025). One third of the parents who indicated that they intended to have their children vaccinated required a telephone reminder. The findings suggest a need for public education about the vaccine, with particular emphasis directed at allaying fears about side effects.
在一家普通儿科诊所进行了一项调查，以确定家长对推荐的b型流感嗜血杆菌疫苗接种计划的态度和依从性。在接受调查的133个家庭中，有127个（95%）回复了问卷。约三分之一的家长没有让孩子接种疫苗。尽管进行了家长教育、后续电话联系且儿科医生明确支持疫苗接种计划，但仍有家长决定不接种。大多数受访者（86%）以前对该疫苗一无所知。最令人担忧的因素是不良反应的可能性。这种担忧在决定不让孩子接种疫苗的家长中比在让孩子接种疫苗的家长中更为常见（卡方检验=6.52，p<0.025）。表示打算让孩子接种疫苗的家长中有三分之一需要电话提醒。研究结果表明有必要对公众进行关于该疫苗的教育，尤其要着重消除对副作用的恐惧。
