Episode notes
Shared Goals Are Key
- The single most important thing when talking with parents is recognizing shared goals for the child's health.
- This foundation helps avoid arguments and builds common ground in vaccine conversations.
Use Presumptive Vaccine Introductions
- Use a presumptive approach by stating vaccines as the standard practice, e.g., 'Maya's due for three vaccines today.'
- This normalizes vaccination and consistently leads to higher uptake than participatory approaches.
Pre-bunk Vaccine Misinformation
- Warn parents early that much online information about vaccines is incorrect to reduce the impact of misinformation (pre-bunking).
- Offer trusted resources like the American Academy of Pediatrics website for accurate vaccine information.
