Initiation was also higher Hispanic (OR=1.83, 1.24-2.71) or eligible Vaccines Children program (OR=1.53, 1.01-2.31). Only 31.0% parents unvaccinated indicated "somewhat likely" "very receive next year. The most common main reasons not intending vaccinate believing is needed necessary (24.5%), having received (22.1%), and lack knowledge (15.9%). low US, key improving uptake.
