Present information level of parents concerning the vaccination possibilities
ZEMAN, Jaroslav
Questions arise nowadays, whether vaccination is needless or whether there are other forms of prevention that could replace mandatory vaccination. At the same time, people undergo vaccination out of obligation and do not seek further information. On the other hand, public awareness on vaccination is rising thanks to well-known vaccination against {\dots} or {\dots} This bachelor thesis on general awareness of vaccination describes present situation in České Budějovice and Litvinovice with emphasis on mothers aged 20 to 50. Quantitative analysis served as the research method with questionnaires used as the data-collection technique. Questionnaires were placed in offices of practitioners, local Hygiene station, local municipalities and in kindergartens. The objective was to ascertain the level of awareness of vaccination in the country and in a city, namely in Litvínovice and in České Budějovice, respectively. Differences between the country and a city as well as effect of education were studied, too. My research confirmed the hypothesis of people in the country refuse to get a vaccination less frequently and do not seek to make vaccination optional, whereas people who live in cities disapprove of vaccination more often and stand out for abolition of mandatory vaccination more often. Furthermore, mothers with higher education tend to seek alternatives to vaccination as for prevention. This thesis proved that mothers are often poorly informed or their knowledge on this topic is incomplete. Parents are not aware of possibilities of financing vaccination by public health insurance. I would recommend more information brochures and more detailed coverage of this topic in media. This thesis will be directly used by medical personnel in terms of creating an information leaflet, which would answer questions raised by my research, and by public health insurance companies, who will be made improve their information and education policy on vaccination refunds .
