Outline of Final Research Achievements	There is no unified understanding of "when, where, and by whom" is the most effective method of explaining infant immunization to mothers. In order to standardize immunization education for the large number of vaccinations that begin in the early stages of life, the applicant has been verifying the effectiveness of infant immunization education conducted from the perinatal period and developing educational programs. In this study, based on the results of these studies and using educational materials from the Joint Preventive Vaccine Project of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Japan Pediatric Society in which the applicant participated, the effectiveness of an efficient infant immunization education program implemented in stages was verified.
Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	直接的効果として、母親のワクチンに対する情報不足や誤解を減らし、不安なく接種ができることにより最終的には接種率が向上し、社会全体からワクチンで予防できる病気の減少に寄与できる。間接的効果としては、ワクチンで予防できる病気から早期に守られ、医療費の削減による経済効果も期待される。ここで得られた標準的な予防接種教育内容は、今後より複雑化する可能性のある乳幼児期の予防接種教育の基本的な情報となる。そして、それらが社会全体に提供されることによって、より効果的な情報提供の実施が可能となる。
