Vaccines have been around for the past 200 years and have been one of the most
important medical discoveries. Even though vaccines have been beneficial to the health of the
public there still remains skepticism around them. In the United States studies have shown an

gap of the pediatric population that remain unvaccinated or under vaccinated. The Healthcare
Effectiveness Data and Information Set developed performance measures under six domains. Of
the six domains, Effectiveness of Care main target is prevention and screening. Under this
domain immunization status is a main target of health promotion.
Patient Interventions
Parent Immunization Education
As a nurse practitioner, patient education and communication play a vital role in the
health promotion of patients and clients. Proper education regarding healthcare needs and
recommendations have proven to have a positive effect on patient care. “Studies have found that
the most crucial reason motivating parental choices about immunizations is communication with
the health care provider.” (Ventola, 2016) Patient education by the primary provider has shown
to increase immunization compliance.
The majority of caregivers are often not familiar with the reasons for vaccines.
Additionally, what diseases they prevent and it’s important to provide parent education regarding
the importance of immunizations. Addressing concerns parents have about vaccines is also
important when it comes educating parents on importance of immunizations. One way is to allow
parents during the office visit time to talk about the apprehensions they have about vaccinations,
and properly relay valid information regarding current guidelines for vaccines.
