Pediatric health care professionals ’ vaccine knowledge, awareness and attitude: a survey within the Italian Society of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology

ConclusionsOur results indicate that pHCPs ’ attitude and confidence in regards to vaccines remain suboptimal. Current COVID-19 pandemic and the rapid development of vaccines could increase vaccine hesitancy. Due to the documented pHCPs’ influence in the parental decision, educational interventions are needed to improve their level of kn owledge and counselling skills in order to address parental vaccine hesitancy and to maintain continuity of immunization services.
