4 conversation tips to help you when discussing with anti-vaccinations
by
Some of the negative parent to vaccination, to the boy who was admitted to the 47-day ICU in tetanus, still people refuse the vaccination exists . This is an extreme case, but it is highly possible that people who are negative about vaccination live in the neighborhood or are connected via SNS. However, it is quite difficult to persuade “the person who denies the vaccination”, and there is also a risk that the denial group strengthens his opinion by persuasion. The National Center for Vaccination Research and Supervision has released “Four Points for Talking with Vaccine Skeptics”.
4 ways to talk with vaccine skeptics

◆ 1: Avoid obscure discussions
The first way is to meet someone who says 'I have decided not to vaccinate after investigating,' but don't immediately say 'Scientific evidence is obvious, so don't let your child get the vaccine.' People who have a strong belief do not fluctuate with this level of objection, so there is little to gain from the objection if the relationship is not particularly important or if the other party is not harmful to you or your surroundings.
Also, if you find a vaccine denial on SNS, avoid replying to the objection. Because social networks such as Facebook and high-engagement conversations are emphasized, conversations may catch the eyes of other vaccine denials and receive concentrated attacks. The clinic, KidsPlus Pediatrics , was involved in such an attack and finally released a guidebook for when it was attacked by anti-vaccines .
On the other hand, refuting the anti-vaccine view is said to reduce the negative effects of anti-vaccine and make spectators positive for vaccination. For this reason, when you see an SNS post that claims an anti-vaccine that has exposure and is likely to have a big impact, it is worth arguing even if you commit a risk. However, it is recommended that the objections be “polite” and “just”.
◆ 2: Affirming denial

It is important to affirm that the vaccine is “denied” if the person with the anti-vaccine opinion is important to you, such as a friend or family member. When discussing vaccines with family and friends, it can become overheated. At that time, let's round it up, saying, “Everyone has a strong belief, so we can only talk. Let's not interfere.” Let's avoid breaking the relationship.
◆ 3: Declaring vaccination
This approach is effective when you want to avoid controversy, but advocate for vaccination. For example, when I heard that a pregnant woman before childbirth said 'I'm going to delay the timing of vaccination', 'I think that vaccination is very important, so I will give my child a vaccine.' Declare This reduces the impact of anti-vaccine on others without trying to persuade or fight the anti-vaccine.
◆ 4: Listen, declare and recommend

This is the step you take when you want to persuade someone who is important to you, such as 'My daughter-in-law hates to vaccinate my grandson.' It is recommended that the following four steps be performed step by step
・ Step 1: Understand what the other party is concerned about
Listen to the words of anti-vaccines, ask clear questions, and understand the 'reasons' that led to their decisions. Do not jump right into the discussion, but understand the other person's “feelings”.
・ Step 2: Affirm the other person as a parent
People have an ear to hear when they think they are “respected”. It is important to understand that the child cares as a parent along with the other person's concerns. Don't forget to tell your partner that you are doing your best.
・ Step 3: Share information
Explain your thoughts by providing information on 'facts' related to the other party. Using high-quality information such as the WHO vaccine and safety net , I will continue to write in the form of 'I think vaccination is important because ...'.
・ Step 4: Stop talking with the next plan
Some people reevaluate their thoughts as events occur, such as when a child grows or when a disease becomes prevalent. Since there is no end to the discussion about vaccination, it is one way to end one discussion in the form of 'Can I speak at another time?'
