Australian parents susceptible to anti-vaccination messaging from politicians, study says

A new study by researchers at UNSW Sydney found that most Australian parents are susceptible to influence by vaccine messages from political and medical leaders.Senior author, Professor Raina MacIntyre of the Kirby Institute, said that this study looked at parental attitudes to vaccination through a different lens than other researchers. Talking further on the topic of anti- vaccination, Dr. Jessica Kaufman, research fellow at the Murdoch Children's Institute, La Trobe University and Melbourne University, spoke more about vaccination refusal in Europe and Serbia.

A recent study again proved that there is no link between the MMR vaccine and autism in children. (AAP) Source: AAP
