Vaccine safety has been in the news a lot lately as parents begin to research their doctor's recommended shots before subjecting their children to a vaccine. Safety is a parent's number one concern, and various vaccine dangers and increased risk in autism and ADHD have turned more than a few heads.
There is a significant increase in the number of parents who refuse vaccines, and it is blamed mostly on parents trying to "read up on everything they can." Before the internet, most American families did not have access to information about vaccine safety at their fingertips. Today, the demographics of vaccine refusing parents are mostly highly educated, white families.
Traditionally, parents choose to refuse vaccines due to religious convictions, belief in attachment parenting, or previous bad experiences themselves. With today's media and technology, more and more vaccine refusals are a direct result over the concern of vaccine safety.

It's not correct to say that a parent's "belief" in Attachment Parenting would mean vaccine abstinence. AP principles are about being connected with your child and the organization itself is neither pro- nor anti- vaccine.
