A critical analysis of the Australian public consultation on childhood vaccine mandate introduction
Several countries have revised their policies to make vaccine refusal more difficult. The role of the public in this process has seldom been examined. We analysed the public consultation process for the Australian government’s 2016 ‘No Jab No Pay’ mandatory childhood vaccination policy to better understand who participated, their arguments, and how their contributions were incorporated into the legislative process. Publicly available submissions …
Public values to guide childhood vaccination mandates
OBJECTIVE: Governments use vaccination mandates, of different degrees of coerciveness, to encourage or require childhood vaccination. We elicited the views of well-informed community members on the public acceptability of using childhood vaccination mandates in Australia. METHODS: Four community juries were conducted in Canberra, Launceston, Cairns and Melbourne, Australia between 2021 and 2022. We recruited 51 participants from diverse backgroun…
How the experience of medical trauma shapes Australian non-vaccinating parents' vaccine refusal for their children
Vaccination decisions can be influenced by individuals' own, and others' experiences within the medical setting, as well as their relationship with providers and the broader medical system. However, is not clear how traumatic medical experiences interact with this relationship. We used grounded theory methodology to explore the role of medical trauma in shaping non-vaccinating parents' decision to refuse vaccination for their children. Twenty-two…
‘Get your own house in order’
OBJECTIVE: Communities with high levels of vaccine rejection present unique challenges to vaccine-preventable disease outbreak management. We sought perspectives of nonvaccinating parents to inform public health responses in such communities. METHODS: Nineteen purposively sampled nonvaccinating Australian parents participated in one of seven online dialogue groups. We asked what they thought parents, school principals and public health profession…
Stigmatized for standing up for my child
Non-vaccinating Australian parents feel stigmatized for defending their child from perceived risk of harm, reporting a range of social and psychological effects, as well as financial effects from policies which disadvantaged their children through differential financial treatment, and diminished early childhood educational opportunities. While it might be argued that social stigma and exclusionary policies directed a small minority for the greate…
Public health practitioner perspectives on dealing with measles outbreaks if high anti-vaccination sentiment is present
Our findings provide a deeper understanding of the challenges faced during an outbreak and priorities for communicating with communities where there is a high level of anti-vaccination sentiment. In the context of a global pandemic, the results of this study also have implications for managing public health responses to community transmission of SARS-CoV-2, as COVID-19 vaccines becomes widely available
The role of complementary and alternative medicine practitioners in the information‐seeking pathway of vaccine‐hesitant parents in the Blue Mountains area, Australia
While immunisation rates were 94.63% for the whole Nepean Blue Mountains region of New South Wales in 2017, coverage for 1 year olds in the upper Blue Mountains was under 80%. There is a known relationship between vaccine-hesitant parents and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use; however, little is known about how CAM practitioners fit within the information-seeking pathway of parents. This exploratory study sought to address this kno…

Parenting and the vaccine refusal process
How organisations promoting vaccination respond to misinformation on social media
We recommend that communicators consider directly countering misinformation because of the potential influence on their silent audience, i.e. those observing but not openly commenting, liking or sharing posts. Refutations should be straightforward, succinct and avoid emphasizing misinformation. Communicators should consider pairing scientific evidence with stories that speak to audience beliefs and values. Finally, organisations could enhance vac…
An audit of the quality of online immunisation information available to Australian parents
Our findings suggest a need for information which is easily found, transparently authored, well-referenced, and written in a way that is easily understood
Understanding Pregnant Women's Attitudes and Behavior Toward Influenza and Pertussis Vaccination
Internationally, pregnant and postpartum women have been the focus of influenza and pertussis immunization campaigns, with differing levels of vaccine acceptance. We used semistructured interviews to explore pregnant women's perspectives on influenza vaccination during pregnancy and postpartum pertussis vaccination. Many women saw pregnancy as a busy time filled with advice on what they "should" and "should not" do to ensure the health of their f…
