Annotated Bibliography (Jane C Finlay, Noni E MacDonald, 2001). Working with vaccine hesitant parents. Canadian Pediatric Society. Retrieved May 3, 2013, from http://www.cps.ca This article focuses on a document posted on the Canadian Pediatric Society website, which may help hesitant parents who refuse to vaccinate their children due to safety concerns . This article uses research information and premeditated steps to illustrate the problem surrounding vaccine use on children. Research shows that the health care provider has a major influence on the parenting decision. Additionally, physicians must consider and understand parents' specific concerns, taking the time to explain the evidence so that hesitant parents have a better understanding and this determines whether a child will be vaccinated. The information presented in the article comes from the Committee on Infectious Diseases and Immunization “CPS”, which is a source of research and education. This article provides clear information on what can happen if a child is not vaccinated, because parents believe that if their child is healthy and strong, they will be free of disease. However, most parents based their information on what they heard in the media and on the Internet, for example, that vaccines cause autism. There is no evidence that this is the case, but things like this will cause parents not to vaccinate their child. There are consequences if a parent doesn't have their child. In Ontario, if a child is not vaccinated, they are not allowed to attend the school system, this is due to the risk that may arise. For example, a child who is vaccinated but has a weak immune system will especially like to catch a disease or bacteria when he encounters this chi...... middle of paper ...... they found that 7.6 per 100 of parents report that in the last 12 months (or since birth) they have missed or delayed vaccination of their child aged 4 to 35 months. In both analyses, refusal/delay was not associated with family income, public or private insurance, maternal age, or region of the country. This study actually shows that only a small percentage of parents do not vaccinate their children. The information the article references comes from the American Academy of Pediatrician, which comes from a credible source, although there is no date on the article as to when it was actually published , the information data that was reported dates from 2002; since then, information may have changed. Therefore, this information is very useful in my mission to show that there are only a small number of the population to be retrained to use vaccines..
