Parental decision-making regarding vaccination: the role of preschool enrolment sanctions, family policies and childcare expectation

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The Czech Republic exemplifies a country with a mandatory childhood vaccination system. A child who has not completed compulsory vaccinations cannot be admitted to preschool until age 5. This paper discusses this measure&apos;s impact on parental decision-making processes, interactions with healthcare professionals, and activities and discourses employed by organisations that unite vaccine-hesitant parents. The analysis draws on data from 30 in-depth interviews with vaccine-hesitant parents (all of whom intentionally postponed or refused at least one compulsory vaccination), 19 in-depth interviews with healthcare professionals and 60 hours of observation at three paediatrician surgeries during vaccination consultations. The paper departs from the notion of vaccine hesitancy as a state of indecisiveness or a particular behavioural phenomenon and leans towards specific contexts within which decisions are made. It analyses specific effects of indirect sanctions that are part of mandatory vaccination policies on vaccine-hesitant parents&apos; interactions with healthcare professionals, strategies, public discourses and decision-making processes regarding vaccination. The paper discusses the measures&apos; impact in the context of family policies in the Czech Republic (availability of preschool facilities, gender division of labour and social expectations regarding the length of paternal leave).
