Childhood #HowIRecommend Vaccination Video Series
Hear one clinician’s effective strategies on recommending childhood vaccinations to parents of young children.
How to Find What You Need
Many parents won’t have questions about vaccines when you give your strong recommendation. However, parents may have questions about vaccines, and answering their questions can help them feel confident in choosing to immunize their child. To support effective communication with parents, CDC created the #HowIRecommend video series, where you can see how other health professionals answer the common questions you get every day. The #HowIRecommend video series is organized two ways:
How do you recommend vaccines and why do you say it that way?
What do you say to parents who decline or refuse vaccines?
What do you say to parents who want to delay or spread out vaccines?
What do you suggest to clinicians who want to improve vaccine recommendations?
How does your philosophy about practicing medicine improve parental acceptance of vaccines?
What do you say to parents who have vaccine safety concerns?
What do you say when parents ask about vaccine side effects?
What do you tell parents who think their children don’t need all of the recommended vaccines?
