Abstract

Vaccine Hesitancy is rising public health problem world-wide, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. The most non-compliant individuals in the US are of pediatric-age. Primary care clinicians deal with increasing rates of families declining vaccinations for their children for non-medical reasons. Navigating vaccine hesitancy and understanding it’s underlying causes while bridging knowledge gaps in the community are important in achieving optimal local and nationwide health and safety.
