Abstract
This study reports on an online survey characterizing support for policies requiring longitudinal and targeted safety testing for new and existing childhood vaccines, as well as the impact of these policies on trust in vaccine safety. 1042 participants were included in the data analysis. For new vaccines, 66.8% of participants indicated support for longitudinal testing, and 63.0% supported targeted testing. For existing vaccines, 67.6% of participants indicated support for longitudinal testing, and 61.0% supported targeted testing. 57.0% of participants reported that their trust in vaccine safety would increase if existing vaccines underwent additional longitudinal testing, 55.6% reported that it would increase if they underwent additional targeted testing; 42.4% reported that their trust increased as a result of the recent dismissal of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Policy support and trust impacts varied significantly according to participant gender, support for the Make America Healthy Again agenda, and vaccine hesitancy.
