Implementation factors and healthcare provider willingness to vaccinate in Latin America and the Caribbean
We found a clear willingness to recommend vaccines for children with cancer in Latin America and the Caribbean, a trend not found in similar studies in the literature. Our findings support the notion that interventions to improve vaccination for children with cancer should gear their efforts towards building an institutional culture that prioritizes immunization for both patients and staff and that supports providers in their already established practice of recommending vaccines to their patients.
