Table 4.

Additional suggestions emphasized by interviewees and endorsed during data synthesis workshop

Suggestion Youth and parent perspective Clinician perspective
Previsit education “One of the things that would have been helpful, I think, is having … the highlights of … the potential side effects [of vaccination] and what to do if it happens.” “I like the idea of some education about the fainters, if the parents want information before … . You know, for these shots just say, ‘It looks like shots are kind of a little hard on your body, and these are the things you could do before your next shots.’”
List of interventions to choose from (“Comfort Menu”) “Maybe a menu at check-in with these things as an option—check off what you find most suitable for yourself.” “Maybe a comfort menu .… Develop a handout with some different things for people like ‘16 oz of fluids in 30 min, and salt [intake]’, and that kind of thing. … It would be nice and make them feel a little TLC.”
Recognizing and managing anxiety (practitioner endorsement only) Not applicable “I think what’s feasible is … training nurse staff to be prepared to manage anxiety … making sure that all the staff is … good at explaining the shots—that they have some talking points and some language about the vaccination and some strategies … and that they’re able to anticipate what the problem might be.”
