The purpose of this study was to research where vaccinations were given to children 6 moths to 17 years old. There are plenty of studies done on people ages 18 and older but very few on children younger than 18 so it is also to increase the literature on this topic.
2. Identify number of articles in the literature review. Do they support the view of the author? Is more than one perspective addressed?
In the article, there are 22 total other references throughout. A lot of these references were data and statistics to inform you as a reader on the topic. The view of the author is to give everyone more information surrounding children’s vaccination locations.

This could be explained for lack of insurance, not being able to get work off to bring a child in, and lack of transportation to get there. The final conclusion is now they can take this data for location specific target programs to help with
