Abstract

This report presents the findings from a series of 20 surveys carried out between 1991 and 2001. The main objectives of the research were to: • obtain information on mothers' knowledge of immunisation; • obtain information on mothers' attitudes towards immunisation; • obtain information on mothers' experience of immunisation services; •monitor the recall and interpretation of NHS Immunisation Information (NHS II) advertising and immunisation information materials. This unique body of more than 15,000 interviews was conducted as part of a routine programme of research supporting the national immunisation programme in England. These surveys show that the public wants clarity, consistency, factual information and openness from those delivering immunisation services. Crown
