Primary care pediatricians' perceptions of vaccine refusal in europe.

An electronic survey assessing primary care pediatricians' estimations and practices regarding parents' vaccination refusal was sent to 395 members of the European Academy of Pediatrics Research in Ambulatory Setting network, with a response rate of 87%. Of respondents who vaccinate in the clinic, 93% estimated the total vaccine refusal rate as <1%. Of all respondents, 69% prefer a shared decision-making approach to handle refusing parents.
