It may be difficult to understand some parents' unwillingness to immunize their children. Seeking evidence to understand parents' perspectives, working with them by listening to their perspectives, and explaining how vaccines are created and help the body build resources to prevent illness likely will be more effective than a stigmatizing approach for noncompliance with vaccines. Asking if it is better for their children to be ill, visiting the families to find out how sick the children are, and threatening the families with child abuse are not effective actions for improving compliance with vaccinations.
