Abstract

Predictors and barriers that may influence parents’ intentions to vaccinate their children against the H1N1 virus were examined. A community survey of 256 parents of children ages 6 to 12 was conducted in October and November 2009. Past decisions to obtain annual influenza vaccines were related to current intention to vaccinate children against the H1N1 virus. Higher worry and perceived risk regarding the H1N1 virus also predicted child vaccination intention. Despite media messages focused on high-risk populations, parents of children with asthma were no more likely to vaccinate their children than parents of children without a chronic medical condition (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
