Abstract
Nurse practitioners in primary care are in a position to ensure their patients stay up to date on their early childhood vaccinations. Some parents have fears or concerns about vaccine safety and efficacy leading them to choose not to vaccinate their children. This paper identifies reasons parents decide not to vaccinate their children and gives evidence based information to improve parents' confidence in the safety of vaccinations. Strategies are provided to promote parental education by nurse practitioners regarding the safety and importance of vaccinations. The goal is to reduce vaccine-preventable diseases outbreaks and their associated levels of morbidity and mortality in the US.
