Here are transcripts from three qualitative interviews that were conducted as part of a study to consider perspectives from parents with regard to vaccination:

"ID 8

Interviewer: It's October 7 and we're talking with parents in [community] today. This is participant #8. Let's get started.

I think you know, but just as a reminder, we're going to be talking with parents, like you, this week to get your perspectives about vaccines. We expect that we'll hear a wide variety of thoughts and that is our hope. For the purposes of our conversation there are no right or wrong answers, we hope that you'll be open to sharing your thoughts.

We'll synthesize the responses, putting them all together to get a sense of common themes. We might use some quotes from this interview, but we will never use your name or personal identifiers. We really appreciate your taking the time to be part of our research. Do you have any questions for me before we get started?

Participant: No, I'm all set.

I: What is the most common information source you turn to when you want to learn about vaccines?

P: I hear a lot of talk about vaccines from other parents. I'm part of a playgroup and we get together every week to talk about a lot of things related to the kids. Sometimes I hear things in the group about vaccines. If it's something I didn't know, I might look online for more information.

I: When you look online, is there a particular website that you go to? P: No, not really. I just usually google the thing I heard about.

I: Do you feel comfortable discussing vaccine questions and issues with your pediatrician?

P: Yes, but my pediatrician is definitely pro-Vaccine, so I like to do a little bit of research first.

I: Do you feel that there is adequate information provided to you about vaccinations?

P: Not really, I see and hear a lot about potential side effects and harms from other parents and the internet, but my pediatrician's office doesn't go into much detail on the reasons not to vaccinate. They kind of minimize the risks.

I: Have you ever delayed your child receiving an immunization?

P: Um, I'm not sure. There was one time that my kid wasn't feeling well so I went back to get the vaccines later. Mostly though I do what the doctor says even though I do sometimes worry about it.

I: Do you think it's preferable to have multiple vaccines in one shot or individual shots?

P: I don't want my child to have more shots, so I guess I just have to trust the multiple vaccines in one shot is ok.

I: How concerned are you that your child might have a severe reaction to a shot? P: I'm pretty concerned. I cross my fingers each time that it will go ok. I: Are you worried about the effects of under-vaccination in the community?

P: No, not really. I just don't think that those diseases are that big a deal anymore. I think that people need to make their own choices for their kids and their families about what to do.

ID 10

Interviewer: It's October 8 and we're talking with parents in [community] today. This is participant #10. Let's get started.

I think you know, but just as a reminder, we're going to be talking with parents, like you, this week to get your perspectives about vaccines. We expect that we'll hear a wide variety of thoughts and that is our hope. For the purposes of our conversation there are no right or wrong answers, we hope that you'll be open to sharing your thoughts.

We'll synthesize the responses, putting them all together to get a sense of common themes. We might use some quotes from this interview, but we will never use your name or personal identifiers. We really appreciate your taking the time to be part of our research. Do you have any questions for me before we get started?

Participant: No, I'm ready to go!

I: What is the most common information source you turn to when you want to learn about vaccines?

P: I go to my doctor when I have questions about vaccines. I consider her to be an expert and I know that she has the best interests of my child in mind. I feel that she answers my questions and always helps me understand what the vaccines do.

I: If you look online for vaccine information, is there a particular website that you go to? P: No, not really. I don't think that I've ever looked at vaccine information online.

I: Do you feel that there is adequate information provided to you about vaccinations?

P: Yes

I: Have you ever delayed your child receiving an immunization?

P: No, I go with what the doctor tells me. I think that my child is up to date on everything.

I: Do you think it's preferable to have multiple vaccines in one shot or individual shots?

P: I'm not a scientist, so I don't know.

I: How concerned are you that your child might have a severe reaction to a shot?

P: I don't worry about this much. I am more concerned that my child might get sick from a disease that could have been prevented.

I: Are you worried about the effects of under-vaccination in the community?

P: Yes, I sort of think that families should be able to make their own decisions, but I wish that people would make the decision to vaccinate.

ID 11

Interviewer: It's October 10 and we're talking with parents in [community] today. This is participant #11. Let's get started.

I think you know, but just as a reminder, we're going to be talking with parents, like you, this week to get your perspectives about vaccines. We expect that we'll hear a wide variety of thoughts and that is our hope. For the purposes of our conversation there are no right or wrong answers, we hope that you'll be open to sharing your thoughts.

We'll synthesize the responses, putting them all together to get a sense of common themes. We might use some quotes from this interview, but we will never use your name or personal identifiers. We really appreciate your taking the time to be part of our research. Do you have any questions for me before we get started?

Participant: Where would you use the quotes?

I: When we have completed this research, we will seek to publish the results in a peer- reviewed journal. This report would include broad themes and may also include anonymous quotes.

P: Thank you.

I: What is the most common information source you turn to when you want to learn about vaccines?

P: I get information from a lot of different places. Mostly I have conversations with my pediatrician about what immunizations are required and suggested and what's coming up in terms of the schedule. Sometimes I also get information online and from other parents.

I: When you look online, is there a particular website that you go to?

P: I read the newspaper and sometimes there are stories about vaccines there. I sometimes look for more information at the CDC website.

I: Do you feel comfortable discussing vaccine questions and issues with your pediatrician?

P: Definitely, that's where I usually start. Sometimes if questions come up because of something that I hear, I'll circle back to the pediatrician with questions.

I: Do you feel that there is adequate information provided to you about vaccinations?

P: Yes, every time my child is scheduled for a vaccine, the doctor tells me about it and I get an information sheet. I don't think I need anything else.

I: Have you ever delayed your child receiving an immunization? P: No. I think my child has had all of her immunizations at the usual times. I: Do you think it's preferable to have multiple vaccines in one shot or individual shots?

P: I guess I do worry about this a little bit. I've heard that combined vaccines could maybe cause more negative reactions, but my pediatrician doesn't seem too worried and I trust her.

I: How concerned are you that your child might have a severe reaction to a shot?

P: A little bit. I know that the risks are pretty low, but I do worry about whether my child could be the unlucky one.

I: Are you worried about the effects of under-vaccination in the community?

P: Yes, I get that it can be seen as a choice, but I think that people who refuse vaccines for their own kids rely on everybody else to do the right thing. That's frustrating. I think that the risks of some of the diseases that we're trying to prevent with vaccines are

more dangerous than the vaccines themselves. I mean, the HPV vaccine can reduce the risk of cancer, right?"

After reading through the interviews, please develop a code book for the purpose of analyzing these data. Your codebook should include broad themes, specific codes, supporting evidence/direct quotes. You may wish to indicate sub-themes for some of your codes; however, this is not required. An adequate codebook should include at least three themes, although you may wish to include more.

You may wish to organize your codebook using this template (the template is designed to get you started - you will need to add your third theme!):
