| Abstract: | Background Parents' reported ambivalence toward large-scale vaccination programs for childhood diseases may be related to their perception
of the risks of side-effects or safety of vaccination and the risk of contracting the disease. The aim of this study is to
evaluate parents' perceptions of their child's risk contracting a Meningococcal C infection and parents' perceived control
in preventing infection in relation to their evaluation of the safety, effectiveness and usefulness of vaccination. |
