Jump start immunizations in NICU


 

REPORTING FROM ESPID 2018


“Certain providers in our group were a bit more hesitant about giving vaccines,” Dr. Stetson replied. “There had to be a lot of provider education to get them to use the resources we’d created. And parental vaccine hesitancy was a barrier for us. Of that 6% of infants who weren’t fully up to date at discharge, the majority of those were due to parental vaccine hesitancy. I think that’s still a barrier that’s going to need more work.”

Dr. Stetson reported having no relevant financial disclosures.
