The goal of vaccine communication efforts is to instill and maintain confidence in the recommended preventive care guidelines, and while experts prefer focusing on describing the population in terms of these goals, rather than using a label like “vaccine hesitant,” which focuses on the presence of a perceived negative characteristic, the term “vaccine hesitant” will be used periodically in this paper to describe the population to whom outreach is focused.
