Abstract

Influenza remains a public health burden and is a significant source of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Vaccinating school-aged children has been demonstrated to be beneficial to the child as well as reducing viral transmission to other vulnerable groups such as the elderly. This qualitative study sought to identify reasons parents allowed their middle or high school child(ren) to participate in a school-based vaccination clinic. The school-based vaccine program, which consisted of a structural component (school-based vaccine clinic) and an educational component (a brochure mailed home to parents and an informational skit performed in school for students) was conducted during two consecutive years.
