review the reasoning of vaccine-hesitant and vaccine-refusing parents who believe more respectful and effective interventions can contribute to their children’s health. The authors collected data through a qualitative, methodological approach through semi-structured interviews to understand parental decisions towards childhood vaccinations and the influences which contribute to the hesitancy to vaccinate. They concentrated their study on twenty-nine vaccine-hesitant Australian parents in Fremantle, Western Australia and Adelaide, South Australia who had made an explicit, personal choice not to vaccinate their children. The article is beneficial towards my research topic due to the ability to understand the minority thinking process and perceived logic of care by vaccine-hesitant and vaccine-refusing parents. The focal limitation of the article is that despite both sectors of parents (Fremantle and Adelaide) convey the same views and values on vaccinations, they do not necessarily represent the whole agenda towards vaccinations for all parents. Thus, the authors have concluded that further thorough research needs to be conducted to establish an extensive understanding as to why parents are so hesitant to vaccinate their children. The Ward PR et al. article will not form the basis of my research, however, will be a fundamental component to provide a differing opinion towards
