Table 3 shows the relationship between the contributing factors and the decision to vaccinate both healthy and diagnosed children. Most of the variables have a significant relationship, therefore the decision of the parent’s decision was influenced by these different variables

**This is the P-value indicating the significant relationship between the two variables (< 0.05)
