Abstract
We examined Latinx prospective parents' (n = 56) attitudes regarding the use of common childhood vaccines via hypothetical scenarios. Intentions of accepting recommended childhood vaccination guidelines varied based on three factors: age, vaccine experience, and gender. Results are explained using invincibility fallacy and cultural mistrust frameworks.
