Separately, conversations about childhood vaccines continue to shift toward framing vaccination as an individual parental decision, placing greater emphasis on the conversations parents may have with their child’s pediatrician. Pediatricians remain the most trusted source among parents for vaccine information, and understanding strategies for effective communication may help them navigate these conversations with parents.
