Abstract
REASONS FOR HESITATION IN CHILDREN'S VACCINATION IN PARENTS IN LATINAMERICA
Rosa Eva Pérez Siguas* and Angel San Miguel Hernandez
ABSTRACT
Objective: Identify the reasons for hesitancy in childhood vaccination in parents in Latin America. Materials and methods: Initially, 1426 articles were identified, from which the final sample consisting of 9 articles was derived. A systematic review of scientific literature was carried out using the PRISMA guidelines, based on the research question that arises from the central theme of the reasons for hesitancy in childhood vaccination in parents of minors in Latin America. Results: We focus on the 9 articles that were finally analyzed, found in different scientific journals between 2018 and 2024. The databases analyzed were Scielo, with 6 articles and PubMed with 3. From these, reasons related to parents emerge, which includes lack of knowledge and health education of parents, lack of confidence in vaccines and right to decide, not to get vaccinated and reasons related to the context, which include the care of the health provider/health professional, beliefs and customs. Conclusions: It was found that motivations are grouped into two general categories; reasons related to parents and reasons related to the context. These elements must be taken into account by authorities and health care providers, in order to achieve greater coverage in immunization programs aimed at minors.
