The province has the lowest measles vaccination rates in the country, with only 54% coverage. This study aims to quantify the contribution of concerns or structural barriers on non-vaccination.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>In a 2022 cross-sectional population-based study, 899 parents reported religious vaccine concerns, concerns about side effects, and whether they encountered structural barriers. The degree to which religious concerns impact the first dose of measles-rubella (MR1) and pentavalent (Penta1) vaccination was quantified through population-attributable fractions (PAF).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Among respondents, 62% reported their child had received MR1 and 63% Penta1. In total, 60% of parents expressed religious concerns about vaccination and 75% about vaccine side effects. The PAF for MR1 non-vaccination was 36% (95% CI: 21%, 52%) for religious concerns and 35% (95% CI: 16%, 51%) for concerns about side effects. For Penta1, the PAF was 42% (95% CI: 24%, 59%) for concerns about side effects and 28% (95% CI: 13%, 44%) for religious concerns. Structural barriers like stockouts, cost, or inconvenient clinic hours were less frequently cited and contributed minimally to non-vaccination.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>While concerns can overlap, evidence suggests that religious concerns are distinct and influence vaccination rates more than structural barriers. Understanding barriers to vaccination is a precursor to developing tailored interventions, like encouraging religious leaders to act as a trusted source of vaccine guidelines or promoting the use of a halal vaccine, that can mitigate hesitancy.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12879-025-11448-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,26]],"date-time":"2025-09-26T08:50:17Z","timestamp":1758876617000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Understanding the influence of religious and safety concerns on childhood measles and pertussis vaccination: a study conducted in Aceh, Indonesia, 2022"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Annie A.","family":"Murphy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rosaria","family":"Indah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amanda","family":"Yufika","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ichsan","family":"Ichsan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tita Menawati","family":"Liansyah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Harapan","family":"Harapan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Birchok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jason M.","family":"Pogue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fitdha","family":"Khairadini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abram L.","family":"Wagner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,26]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"11448_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"S44","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amepre.2020.07.029","volume":"60","author":"H Harapan","year":"2021","unstructured":"Harapan H, Shields N, Kachoria AG, Shotwell A, Wagner AL.
