As a nurse who works in a pediatric setting inpatient and outpatient, the issue that I observed is the increased delays and refusal of vaccination last year. When parents refuse to immunize their children, then it becomes a public health concern. At the same time, there are reasons why parents are opposing the immunization of their children. What are the possible reasons for this refusal? Can patient education improve the rates of vaccination? Is there a relationship between the MMR vaccine and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)? What are their concerns regarding vaccinations and what is its link with chronic diseases? Side effects of parents' refusal to vaccinate their children have been on the rise in the last decade. The parent's negative perception of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) because of its association with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

What is the PICO(T) question?
Will influenza immunization compliancy rates increase if flu clinics are provided in a Flu PODS and immunization clinics at convenient times covering all shifts?
Define each element of the question below:
P- (Patient, population, or problem): Hospital employees and volunteers required to have the influenza immunization annually
I -(Intervention): Offer multiple Flu "PODS" and immunization clinics to hospital employees and volunteers making it convenient to receive the required immunization. Offer at a variety of times, available to all shifts
C- (Comparison with other treatment/current practice): Compare analytics showing employees and volunteers who received flu shot prior to 2016 when Flu PODS and immunization clinics were not offered compared to 2016 where Flu PODS and immunization clinics are offered to accommodate shifts. Track number of employees/volunteers coming at each hour time frame.
O- (Desired outcome): Increase of compliance of receiving the annual mandatory flu shot by employees and volunteers
