Survey examines U.S. attitudes toward vaccination
A survey of more than 3,000 U.S. adults revealed that despite a measles outbreak that sickened 169 people through May 1, 28% of households with children were still worried about vaccines, compared with about 13% of households without children. Adults with children cited side effects and vaccines as a cause of illness as the top concerns. The survey also showed that 38% of households with children and 28% of those without children supported vaccination exemptions based on religious or personal beliefs. Researchers also found that 91% of adults, regardless of whether or not they had children at home, support mandatory vaccination for students in public school, unless there is a medical reason not to vaccinate
