Titolo della tesi: vaccinations and parents point of view on it
In the last century, immunizations have been the most effective way to prevent transmission of various deadly healthcare conditions across the globe, thereby improving health outcomes and reducing morbidity, mortality, and, consequently, healthcare costs. Since 1998, there has been a widespread mistrust of vaccines across the globe owing to a now-debunked study that vaccination for mumps, measles, and rubella had a direct linkage to autism, which was ascertained to be unfounded by scientific evidence from an extensive body of literature on the subject. However, false news coupled with destructive media, vaccine hesitancy (VH) has been widespread among parents who express concerns about vaccinating their children (Glanz et al., 2015; AAP, 2018).
