• W1549883173 abstract "Despite being recognized as one of the most effective public health measures, vaccination hasbecome increasingly controversial as more parents and doctors question the effectiveness andpurpose of this preventive measure, with heightened emphasis on adverse events [Abrahamsonand Pickering, 2002; Campion, 2002]. The goals of our study were to determine immunizationcoverage and examine factors influencing vaccination behaviors in 3 different age groups in eachcanton by collecting vaccination cards and questionnaires between 1999 and 2003. Nationalcoverage estimates for 3 doses of diphtheria (Di or D), tetanus (Te or T), pertussis (Per or P),poliomyelitis (Pol) and Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) and combined dose of measles (M),mumps (M), and rubella (R), or simply MMR, were: over 91% for Di, Te, Per, Pol and Hib andaround 81% for MMR for toddlers; they were more than 92%, for 4 doses of Di, Te and Pol,60.9% and 26.6% for 4 doses of Per and Hib, respectively, and 87% for one dose of MMR forchildren at school entry. For children at school departure, coverage estimates at 5 doses of Di, Teand Pol was over 81% and around 50% for 2 doses of MMR (approximately 93% for 1 dose).Hepatitis B coverage ranged between 2.3% and 88.3% with the mean at 1 dose being 46.3%, for2 doses at 40.8%, and 3 doses at 25.9%. Due to methodological difficulties, comparison ofcoverage for schoolchildren among the cantons should be done with caution. Comparison ofcoverage for toddlers for MMR at one dose and Di, Te, and Pol at 3 doses with those from 1991and 1998 revealed that coverage has remained relatively unchanged. However, for Per and Hib at3 and 4 doses and 4 doses of Di, Te, and Pol, coverage levels have increased, with the uptake ofHib being most apparent, climbing from 77% in 1998 to 91% in our survey at 3 doses and from47% to 79% at 4 doses.Vaccination coverage is significantly better in cantons where French or Italian is the predominantlanguage spoken as compared to their German counterparts, particularly for MMR. Cantonssupplementing their school health services with cantonally employed school nurses or“Lungenliga” nurses have improved vaccination coverage as compared to those working onlywith school doctors. Parental use of alternative medicine is found most often to be stronglyassociated with low vaccination coverage, cutting across cantonal differences and types ofvaccines while being more influential by parents of younger kids. Nationality follows suit, withSwiss children having lower MMR and higher Di and Pol coverage levels than those of foreignbackground. Approximately 90% of all those who completed a questionnaire indicated that theyhave information concerning vaccination. Of these, 67% are satisfied with what they have, while17% are not happy, 7% remained undecided and 8% refrained from answering. Futurevaccination campaigns should address the latter 3 groups to effectively increase immunizationcoverage.Finally, doctors are one of the most important resources for parents for obtaining informationregarding vaccination; however, parents prefer that doctors actively share this information, ratherthan having to request for it from the doctors themselves. Parents of schoolchildren increasinglyrely on school physicians for this information as their children get older. Health insurance shouldalso share more information with parents while information distributed by the media is lessdesired. Parental attitudes towards vaccination and perception of the dangers of the childhoodpreventable diseases and vaccine safety and efficacy are significantly associated with coverage.Our results show that the most significant predictors of a child being UTD with the recommendedvaccination plan is if parents agree that they follow the doctor’s recommendation, believe in theeffectiveness of vaccination, and think that as many children as possible should be vaccinated forthe benefit of the community. In contrast, toddlers whose parents thought there was too muchsocial pressure to vaccinate their children and have concerns about possible side effects fromvaccines are less likely to be vaccinated as compared to those who disagree.In summary, children in Switzerland are sub-optimally vaccinated. Immunization coverage isaffected by demographic and political factors, attitudes towards vaccination and perceptions ofthe dangers of the disease, as well as information available to the parents and healthcareproviders. Future vaccination campaigns must address these factors, while providing clear andtransparent resources to the parents and healthcare professionals." @default.
