Objectives

Vaccines are considered one of the most important inventions of human history that enabled the containment of several infectious diseases. However, there is a global decrease in the rate of vaccination and an increase in outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. The aims of the current study are to determine childhood vaccine hesitancy and its influencing factors in Kazakhstan.

Methods

This cross sectional online-based study was conducted between Sep until Nov of 2019.

Results

A total of 387 participants of which 70% were females with the majority under the age of 40 years and having one child or more. More than a third (35%) of the participants identified themselves as vaccine hesitant, 71% believed that vaccines are effective, and 65% believed that vaccines are good. Vaccine source of information appears to be an influential factor as those who receive information from healthcare providers have no concerns about vaccination.

Conclusion

This is the first study to identify factors associated with vaccine hesitancy in Kazakhstan. There is a high rate of vaccine hesitancy and low rate of vaccine knowledge identified in the participant group. Healthcare providers have a unique position in improving parents’ vaccine knowledge and acceptance.

疫苗依从性:哈萨克斯坦对儿童免疫犹豫的比率。

目标

疫苗被认为是人类历史上最重要的发明之一,可以控制多种传染病。但是,全球疫苗接种率下降,疫苗可预防疾病暴发增加。本研究的目的是确定哈萨克斯坦儿童疫苗的犹豫及其影响因素。

方法

这项基于在线横截面的研究于2019年9月至2019年11月进行。

结果

共有387名参与者,其中70%是女性,其中大多数年龄在40岁以下,并且有一个或多个孩子。超过三分之一(35%)的参与者认为自己对疫苗犹豫不决,71%的人认为疫苗有效,而65%的人认为疫苗是有效的。疫苗的信息来源似乎是一个影响因素,因为那些从医疗保健提供者那里获得信息的人对疫苗接种没有担忧。

结论

这是确定哈萨克斯坦疫苗犹豫相关因素的第一项研究。在参与者组中发现疫苗犹豫的比率很高,而疫苗知识的比率却很低。医疗保健提供者在提高父母的疫苗知识和接受度方面具有独特的地位。
