Assessing hesitancy towards paediatric vaccines among healthcare professionals: A descriptive cross-sectional study from the United Arab Emirates
While HCPs generally support paediatric vaccinations, knowledge gaps and hesitancy towards new vaccines persist. Targeted professional education, particularly in vaccine safety and communication strategies, is crucial to strengthening vaccine advocacy. Addressing these gaps through tailored training programmes may enhance HCPs' ability to effectively counter vaccine hesitancy and sustain high immunization coverage.
