The study found that vaccine enquirers are individuals who make an active choice to delay or decline vaccination. They are not uncertain or hesitant but rather consider themselves well-informed. The study also found different forms of stigma related to vaccination choices. Further research may be helpful to understand implications of vaccination related stigma on health and other vaccination decisions
