Associations between health care professional communication practices and influenza vaccination of hospitalized children.
The objective of this study was to describe the communication of health care professionals (HCPs) with parents of hospitalized children concerning the influenza vaccine. A survey was conducted online or via telephone with English- and Spanish-speaking parents of influenza vaccine-eligible children hospitalized at a pediatric hospital after discharge. Findings showed that a parent-reported HCP conversation and recommendation were associated with influenza vaccination during hospitalization.

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.

Evaluation of a clinical decision support strategy to increase seasonal influenza vaccination among hospitalized children before inpatient discharge.
The authors’ goal was to design and evaluate a clinical decision support (CDS) strategy to increase the proportion of eligible hospitalized children who receive a seasonal influenza vaccine prior to inpatient discharge. They found that a user-centered CDS may be associated with significantly improved influenza vaccination rates among hospitalized children.
