Translating the evidence to practice: getting the vaccine hesitant to vaccinate [ 2017 - 2018 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Jonathan Wardle (Principal investigator)

Brief description One of the key examples of this poor research translation is the rise of vaccine hesitancy, where the unequivocal evidence base for public health benefit of childhood immunisations has not been translated into vaccination uptake in many areas.This project will partner with primary health care organisations and develop strategies based on pilot research to improve vaccination information to vaccine hesitant parents, to assist with the uptake of this important public health intervention.
