Varicella, or chickenpox, is a highly contagious viral infection that can be prevented through vaccination. However, the acceptance of varicella vaccination can vary, influenced by a complex interplay of factors. This study, conducted in Hungary before the introduction of varicella vaccine in the national immunization program, explored the attitudes and determinants of support or refusal of varicella vaccination among parents and pediatric healthcare providers, particularly health visitors.

The study uncovered a diverse range of attitudes towards varicella vaccination, highlighting the need for tailored communication strategies to address concerns and promote informed decision-making. The study also identified factors that influence vaccination decisions, such as parental beliefs about the disease, vaccine safety, and the perceived benefits of vaccination. Understanding these factors is crucial for developing effective strategies to increase varicella vaccination rates.
