The theory proved itself as a strong predictive instrument and the results suggest that the attitude about the consequences of the vaccination is the main predictor of the decision in this non-representative sample of mothers. Also, the perceived threat of contraindications of the vaccine proves to be influential. The beliefs that mothers hold about the vaccine were analyzed according to mothers' intentions to vaccinate (n = 70) or not to (n = 110). These results support the idea that mothers, especially those who do not want to vaccinate their children against pneumoco
