“It's a risk-benefit analysis”: Qualitative perspectives on barriers and enablers to post-treatment vaccination from adults affected by a haematological malignancy in Australia
Barriers and enablers to vaccination identified suggest ways in which vaccination services for this population can be improved. While patients receiving vaccinations at their treating centre reported coordinated care that made access straightforward, other participants described being hampered by lack of coordinated care and continuity. A lack of condition-specific information coupled with common vaccine misconceptions resulted in concerns regarding vaccinations. These findings offer opportunities to address barriers to vaccination uptake through targeted service innovation and education and information interventions.
