        abstract = {Childhood immunization is one of the pillars of public health, which is also believed to represent the annual million lives saved. Although it contributed to success, parental beliefs and attitudes are key factors at the achievement of high vaccination coverage. The goal of this review is to analyze the state of childhood immunization up to the current stage and parental compliance with vaccination programs. We discuss the role of vaccination in the control of infectious diseases and discuss the main goals of childhood vaccination programs, as high seroprevalence and suppression of the spread of severe childhood diseases. Specifically we also examine the determinants of parental attitudes and beliefs towards vaccination itself, such as misinformation, misconceptions and cultural/socioeconomic factors. Our review also points to the need for specific interventions to gain parents' knowledge, understanding, and acceptance of childhood immunization, thus leading to improved immunization coverage and hence protection of children from vaccine-preventable diseases.},
