Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of healthcare providers regarding vaccinating children with cancer in Latin America and the Caribbean
Our findings show general agreement with and support for vaccinating children with cancer, especially against influenza. Respondents reported high levels of knowledge, mostly positive attitudes, and support for recommending vaccines to patients. However, their vaccine recommendations were inconsistent. It is important to explore influential contextual factors at the institutional and governmental levels to identify strategies to increase vaccination coverage of children with cancer in the region.
