| Description: |
|
The societal consensus that has supported our childhood immunization appears to be eroding. In some communities negotiating the recommended immunization schedule is becoming normative behavior for parent of newborns. The origins of immunization hesitancy and resistance will be reviewed; the effects of opting out on the spread of vaccine preventable disease discussed, and the dilemma of balancing individual’s right to chose and protecting the public health explored. A strategy will be proposed to use the principles of motivational interviewing to create a constructive dialogue to assist parents to make informed decisions to protect their child against vaccine preventable diseases and to apply the principles of social marketing to promote the public health. R.S.V.P. to biosci-events@uci.edu or at 949-824-2500.
