Vaccination programs become increasingly crucial during migratory movements driven by conflict and other disruptions. This study aims to determine the prevalence of childhood vaccination hesitancy among Syrian parents under temporary protection and identify areas for targeted interventions.
A total of 227 Syrian parents attending three Immigrant Health Centers in Sultangazi were assessed using the Arabic version of the Parent Attitude about Childhood Vaccines (PACV) survey, conducted between October and December 2023.
The prevalence of vaccine hesitancy among these parents was found to be 10.6%. An inverse correlation was observed between maternal education level and vaccine hesitancy, indicating that higher education levels were associated with lower levels of hesitancy.
The observed rate of vaccine hesitancy among Syrian parents under temporary protection underscores the urgent need for targeted interventions. Tailored vaccination strategies for immigrant populations are essential to improve immunization rates and ensure the health and well-being of these communities.
在冲突和其他干扰导致的移民运动中，接种计划变得越来越重要。本研究旨在确定临时保护下的叙利亚父母对儿童疫苗接种的犹豫程度，并确定有针对性干预的领域。
2023 年 10 月至 12 月期间，在苏尔坦加齐的三个移民健康中心，对 227 名叙利亚父母进行了评估，使用的是阿拉伯语版的《父母对儿童疫苗接种的态度》（PACV）调查。
发现这些父母的疫苗犹豫率为 10.6%。母亲的教育水平与疫苗犹豫之间存在反比关系，表明较高的教育水平与较低的犹豫程度相关。
临时保护下的叙利亚父母中观察到的疫苗犹豫率突显了有针对性干预的迫切需要。针对移民群体的定制疫苗接种策略对于提高免疫率和确保这些社区的健康和福祉至关重要。
