Influenza-related knowledge, beliefs, and experiences among caregivers of hospitalized children.
Caregivers frequently decline influenza vaccine for their hospitalized child. In this study, the investigators aimed to examine factors impacting their influenza vaccine decision-making. The investigators conducted a cross-sectional survey study of English- and Spanish-speaking caregivers of children hospitalized at a tertiary care pediatric hospital between November 2017 and April 2018.They identified key factors impacting influenza vaccine decision-making among caregivers of hospitalized children, a critical step to improving uptake in this population.

Stories about HPV vaccine in social media, traditional media, and conversations.
To understand how stories from media and social interactions shape parents' HPV vaccination decisions, the authors sought to characterize parents' exposure to these stories, as well as associations between story exposure and vaccination behavior. They found that stories of HPV vaccine harms may be associated more strongly with vaccination behavior than stories of HPV vaccine preventable diseases. They recommended that communication campaigns consider strategies to elevate stories of preventable diseases in social and traditional media.

Support for pharmacist-provided HPV vaccination: national surveys of U.S. physicians and parents.
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2018 Aug;27(8):970-78. doi: 10.1158/1055-9965.Epi-18-0380.
State laws about pharmacists providing human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines vary considerably, limiting many pharmacists' ability to provide this important cancer prevention service. In this study, the investigators characterized physician and parent support for pharmacist-provided HPV vaccination for adolescents who are past due for vaccination. The authors concluded that to increase support for HPV vaccination services, pharmacists should raise awareness about their immunization training and standardize vaccination protocols that ensure coordination with primary care.

Addressing parents' vaccine concerns: a randomized trial of a social media intervention.
Successful strategies are needed to address parental vaccine hesitancy, a significant public health issue. The study objective was to assess whether an Internet-based platform with vaccine information and interactive social media components improved parents' vaccine-related attitudes. The authors concluded that among vaccine-hesitant parents, an Internet-based intervention improved parents' attitudes about vaccines.
