The frequency and magnitude of the impact of sources of negative vaccination information on parents' views on vaccine safety and efficacy

The aim of the study was to determine the frequency of skepticism in relation to vaccination in parents with young children, the impact of demographic variables on skepticism, as well as the frequency of negative sources of information and the strength of their association with skepticism towards vaccination. The results of the research show that it is necessary to distinguish between the frequency and the strength of influence of certain sources of negative vaccination information, that is, although very rarely present as sources of negative information, health professionals appear as a particularly powerful influence factor. Friends and family are moderately frequent and strong, the mass media very frequent and weak, and the Internet moderately frequent and weak source of negative information.
