CPHA Canvax

"While some of the factors presented in this matrix could easily be understood as mostly convenience issues (e.g. costs, geographic distance to vaccination clinic), to some extent all of these factors can affect confidence (e.g. if I have to pay for the vaccine it can make me hesitate to accept it, because “if it was really important, it would be included in the publicly funded program”). Some factors could also be included in the three Cs, depending on the context. For instance, “vaccination schedule” could be understood as a confidence issue (e.g. if parents lack confidence in it – “too many vaccines, too early”), as a convenience issue (e.g. if parents have transport problems to come for all visits needed to fully immunize their child) or as complacency issue (e.g. if parents don’t think that it is important for their child to receive booster doses). Indeed, confidence, complacency and convenience issues can all result in vaccine hesitancy." - What Influences Vaccine Acceptance: A Model of Determinants of Vaccine Hesitancy
