- Abstract
The article focuses on the effect of preservatives in vaccines to autism. Study shows that the uptake of parents increase since autism was baselessly related to the triple vaccination for measles, mumps and rubella. It was found out that parents' decisions whether or not to have their child vaccinated was due to public-health credibility, benefit of vaccinating, herd immunity, information, personal values, vaccine safety research and risk of vaccinating. It has been concluded that anti-vaccination communications are relevant on richer field of considerations in the heads of parents than the official communications.
