Results: Of the oarticipants 29.3% had VH in general, 37% were worried about the safety of MMR vaccine, and 39.9% had autism thoughts related to MMR vaccine. VH was significantly higher among female parents, those with high education. Hesitant parents showed a significant higher MMR autism thoughts, and higher thoughts that the risk of MMR vaccine overweight the benefit.
