An abstract of a study by Imburgia et al examining factors associated with influenza vaccination among 9-13 year old children and describing parents' reported reasons for vaccinating or not vaccinating children is presented. The findings suggest that healthcare provider (HCP) recommendations are crucial to influenza vaccine uptake in early adolescents. Furthermore, HCPs are well-positioned to explain the benefits of influenza vaccination and address parental concerns about efficacy and safety. Training HCPs to effectively assess parents' pre-existing attitudes toward influenza vaccination may help them to tailor their communication strategies to better address parental objections.
