Abstract

People who highly regard equality in society, individuals’ personal freedoms, and maintain firm beliefs in several conspiracies are more likely to be suspicious about vaccinations. Understanding that such factors affect people’s attitudes may help physicians develop new methods of convincing the public of the safety of vaccines.
