青少年疫苗注射需要加大宣传力度
美国青少年注射疫苗的比率有所上升，但是儿童注射疫苗的比率仍落后。研究者用2007年YouthStyles 与HealthStyles用户邮寄调查得出的数据，分析了1208位家长与1087位青少年（年龄段：11-18岁）对给青少年的3种疫苗的认识与态度。
Adolescent Vaccines Need Better PR
Few adolescents and parents know that the HPV, Tdap, and MenACWY vaccines all are recommended for adolescents, but the willingness to get recommended vaccines is high.
Vaccination rates for U.S. adolescents have improved but still lag behind rates for children. Using data from the 2007 HealthStyles and YouthStyles consumer mail surveys, investigators analyzed the knowledge and attitudes of 1087 adolescents (age range, 11–18 years) and 1208 parents regarding three vaccines for teenagers: human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, Tdap (for tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis), and MenACWY (meningococcal conjugate vaccine). Survey responses were weighted to represent the demographic makeup of the general U.S. population.
The table lists the percentages of parents and adolescents who said that they were aware of the various recommendations.
One third of parents and 43% of adolescents strongly agreed or agreed with the statement "I have concerns about the safety of recommended adolescent vaccines." However, 84% of parents and 91% of adolescents agreed that getting vaccinated is one way to protect their own or their child's health. Furthermore, 84% of adolescents strongly agreed or agreed that they would get a vaccine if recommended by their healthcare provider.
