Abstract in brief

The study investigates how parents' reasons for refusing or delaying childhood vaccines influence their responses to vaccine education sessions and their children's vaccination status, based on data collected in Michigan since 2015.
Results show that parents who initially refused vaccines for religious reasons or concerns about vaccine risks are less likely to vaccinate their children, but education sessions can sometimes change their minds, especially if they express a commitment to alternative schedules.
Different reasons for vaccine refusal are linked to distinct vaccination behaviors, suggesting tailored pro-vaccination strategies could be more effective by targeting specific parental motivations.]
