TL;DR: Although the majority of parents understand the benefits of immunization and support its use, many parents have important misconceptions that could erode their confidence in vaccines.

TL;DR: Parents who delayed and refused vaccine doses were more likely to have vaccine safety concerns and perceive fewer benefits associated with vaccines, and had significantly lower coverage for all 10 childhood vaccines.

TL;DR: Spanish-speaking patients whose families have a language barrier seem to have a significantly increased risk for serious medical events during pediatric hospitalization compared with patientswhose families do not have alanguage barrier.

TL;DR: This review will examine the ontogeny of the active immune response and the ability of neonates and young infants to respond to vaccines, the theoretic capacity of an infant's immune system, and the fact that infants actually encounter fewer antigens in vaccines today than they did 40 or 100 years ago.

TL;DR: Pediatricians are willing to report errors to hospitals and disclose errors to patients' families but believe current reporting systems are inadequate and struggle with error disclosure, and improving error reporting systems and encouraging physicians to report near misses could help prevent future errors and increase patient trust.
