Making Education Easy
Ethnic differences in attitudes to vaccines and the influence of GPs in New Zealand were identified using data from the 2017 New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study survey (N=17,072). A positive perception of GPs and high vaccine safety agreement was reported by 59.4% of Māori compared with 74.7% of Europeans, 72.3% of Asians and 65.8% of Pacific people. Key correlates for higher vaccine safety agreement among Māori were increased GP satisfaction, health care access and being non-religious.
