The vaccine expert addresses the drop in infantile vaccination rates worldwide

Although it has been more than five years since the start of the Cavid -19 pandemic, the resulting vaccination hesitation still persists to date – something that Professor Margie Danchin undertakes to help.

Pediatrician at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, Danchin is also a vaccination expert at Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI), also in Melbourne.

Her biggest objective, she told Fox News Digital, is to fight against the erosion of vaccine confidence at a time when technology progresses – and when the need for this progress to fight against emerging (and re -emerging) illnesses.

According to Danchin, an excellent example of this technology is the new maternal vaccination against the RSV (syncytial respiratory virus) and the treatment of RSV monoclonal antibodies for newborns, called nirsvimab.

These are new and effective weapons against a disease which is a main world cause of infantile pneumonia and the hospitalization of newborns.

In Australia-Western and Queensland, Danchin said, Norsevimab has resulted in 80% decrease in RSV hospitalizations.

Fox News Digital spoke to Danchin about this paradox between new exciting prevention tools and the reluctance to use them.

“We have the lowest levels of confidence in all vaccines in more than a decade – and in fact, we have had global vaccine coverage for children in particular,” said Danchin.

She also highlighted the climbing of vaccine preventable diseases, such as diphtheria, polio, darling and measles.

Professor Danchin’s research focuses on the hesitation of vaccines and what to do on this subject.

“It must be addressed on several levels,” she said.

According to the doctor, some of the largest factors are the visions of the world of people, perceptions and understanding of risk, as well as the cognitive biases they use to interpret this risk.

“We saw through the cocovated deployment, when there have been unwanted events associated with the vaccines, people have become incredibly frightened who were going to happen to them – even if the real risk of this was happening was incredibly low, very rare,” said Danchin.

The doctor aims to respond to patient concerns while strengthening confidence.

A strategy is the vaccine champions program, which has been deployed in Australia as well as five countries in the Asia-Pacific region.

“We are strengthening the capacities and forms of health care providers and various leaders of the community – including religious leaders, teachers and sports stars – on how to communicate on vaccines,” said Danchin.

Narration stories can also be an effective way to transmit the importance of vaccines, noted the doctor.

She said that she strives to settle as “someone with knowledge, expertise and credibility”, while being respectful and ensuring that parents feel that their concerns are heard.

“I strengthen relationships, then I spend time responding to these concerns and sharing trust -to -trust information,” said Danchin.

She also takes the time to discuss the diseases themselves, she said.

“I think we spend too much time focusing on vaccines, which have become victims of their own success,” said Danchin. “Parents forget why we vaccate and what diseases we are trying to prevent for their children.”

Above all, said Danchin, it is important that people have access to confidence sources of information rather than existing in “echo rooms”, where they read and share information that may not be exact or source.

“We need trusted scientists who can really communicate,” said Danchin.

Meet patients where they are

Danchin stressed that most people are not unintelligent in this subject – “They are simply very confused. They don’t know what to believe.”

It is important to be respectful of the opinions of others and to invite an open conversation, “said the doctor.

“If you censor the information, then people become suspicious,” she warned, noting that conversations must be held “with clarity, without aggression or judgment”.

Danchin also said that she tried to dispel persistent concerns among certain parents concerning the possible link between certain vaccines and autism.

To do this, she listens to parents’ concerns, then “slowly shares” the 25 years of research that refute this association, she said.

“I think we spend too much time focusing on vaccines, which have become victims of their own success.”

“Simply because you have a vaccine, then in the next four to six months, your child’s communication skills and behavior changes does not mean that X has caused Y,” said Danchin.

During the pandemic, Danchin noted, there were many cases where people thought that if an elderly person had a cocovid vaccine and died a week later, it was clearly the vaccine that caused death, even if it could have been due to a stroke or a heart attack.

“This is what I do with families-I slowly explain research. I show them that there is absolutely no evidence,” she said.

“There have been millions of children who did not receive the Ror vaccine and others who received it, and there was no difference in the incidence of autism.”

Danchin aims to approach parents “with clarity, without aggression, without judgment and using a grounding approach”.

At the same time, the doctor said that she and her colleagues researchers “constantly monitor the side effects of vaccines (or vaccine safety problems) in the community.”
