Many parents have questions about their children's vaccines, and answering their questions can help parents feel confident in choosing to immunize their child. Doctors, nurses, medical assistants, and office staff all play a key role in establishing and maintaining a practice-wide commitment to communicating effectively about vaccines and maintaining high vaccination rates.

Parents consider their child's healthcare professionals to be their most trusted source of information when it comes to vaccines. This is true even for parents who are vaccine-hesitant or who consider delaying one or more vaccines. You have a critical role in helping parents choose vaccines for their child.

There are many resources for healthcare professionals to improve communication skills, and to review and print in the office when you have conversations with parents and families.
