The COVID-19 vaccine safety debacle has contributed to erosion in vaccine confidence. Additionally, the ever-increasing burden of vaccines coinciding with exploding rates of autism spectrum disorder are prompting parents to do their own research.

A report from Vasudevan et al from a survey performed among expecting and young parents found shocking results. Less than 40% expected to follow the full vaccine schedule. Conversely 60% were going to delay, refuse, or were undecided on routine childhood vaccinations.

Vasudevan L, Porter RM, Orenstein WA, Vogt TM, Bednarczyk RA. Vaccination Intentions During Pregnancy and Among Parents of Young Children. JAMA Netw Open. 2025 Jul 1;8(7):e2520667. doi: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2025.20667. PMID: 40663355.

This represents a giant shift from the >95% ACIP vaccine schedule acceptance from pre-pandemic years. Independent media and scholarship on the harms of vaccination can be credited with improved awareness.
