  • Annual

This report outlines the findings from the Parental Attitudes towards Immunisations of Pre School Children research undertaken by BMG Research in February and March 2021 on behalf of Public Health Wales.

The research aims to provide a greater understanding of parental awareness on vaccines and vaccine preventable diseases, and explores attitudes to pre-school immunisations in order to inform strategic planning of immunisation programmes in Wales.

The findings presented result from the analysis of an online quantitative survey of 723 parents of children aged 0 to 5 years, and 20 in-depth qualitative interviews with a selection of survey participants.
