SYDNEY Homme Puma Suede Classic Knit Bordeaux Pas Cher , Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- First-time mothers are increasingly hesitant to vaccinate their children, according to a study released Friday.


The study said that nearly half of all first-time mothers had concerns over vaccinating their children.


The study conducted by the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute found that only 73 percent of mothers they surveyed had decided to vaccinate their children by the time they ready to give birth, while just under 90 percent of mothers who already had children were sure about vaccinating their children.


Lead author on the study Margie Danchin told Xinhua on Friday that the results of the study were "concerning" Acheter Homme Puma Suede Classic Verte Blanche , especially considering the vast difference between first-time mothers and those who were more experienced.


"It really highlights the fact that first-time mums are often facing this question about vaccines for the first time for their kids, and that they are really perplexed by it, and have concerns Femme Puma Suede Classic Rose Soldes ," Danchin said.


A particular worry is the rise of the anti-vaccination movement, or "anti-vaxxers", who spread misinformation about vaccines Puma Suede Metallic Fade Sneakers Grise En ligne , with a doctor in Melbourne, John Piesse, recently being forced to stop practicing medicine in August after speaking at a forum and bragging about helping mothers avoid getting vaccinations for their newborn children.


Danchin believed that these anti-vax groups can be "very vocal" Boutique Homme Puma Suede Classic Bleu Blanche , causing parents to question the conclusive scientific evidence showing that vaccinations are necessary to protect children at the developmental stages of their lives.


"(Those groups) make parents doubt the science, and certainly get parents to question what information is reputable and what they should trust. So I think it's truly the job of us as strong vaccine advocates to provide parents with suitable clear information," Danchin said.


"We really want to target the healthcare providers in pregnancy Homme Puma Suede Rouge Or En ligne , so predominantly midwives in the public health setting, but also obstetricians - because this study will not only be about childhood vaccinations."


"We also need to address maternal vaccines, and that's flu and whooping cough for the mothers Puma Sportstyle Suede and Basket Classic Blanche Noir Vente , as well as the vaccines for children after birth,"


"So, we want to try and normalised these vaccines discussions in pregnancy so that we know they will occur Puma Sportstyle Suede and Basket Classic Noir En ligne , and support midwives in particular who have these conversations," she added.


Only two thirds of the mothers that were assessed as part of the study felt that they were given adequate information regarding vaccines during their pregnancy.

WASHINGTON， Feb. 23 (Xinhua) -- Iowa Governor Terry Branstad， U.S. President Donald Trump's pick for Ambassador to China， said on Thursday that he would work to ensure the continued growth of U.S. agricultural exports to China when he begins his new job， particularly reopening the Chinese market for American beef.


"The U.S.-China relationship offers many opportunities to continue to grow agricultural exports" to China， Branstad said at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's annual Agricultural Outlook Forum. "I look forward to being an advocate for all agricultural exports in this new role."


U.S. agricultural exports to China have grown more than 200 percent over the past decade and China was the United States' second-largest international market in 2015， according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.


China has already imported more U.S. soybeans than all the rest of the world combined， and the world's second-largest economy has become a major importer of American pork as well， the governor said， noting that "multi-billion dollar soybean contracts between the United States and China have become a commonplace" .


In terms of his priorities as U.S. Ambassador to China， Branstad said he hoped China to reopen the market for American beef "soon". China halted beef imports from the United States in 2003 to prevent the spread of mad cow disease.


"Mad cow disease is long since gone in this country， and there is no reason why the Chinese should continue to restrict American beef，" he said. "I want to serve it in the embassy， and I certainly want to do what I can to try to convince the Chinese leadership to do that sooner rather than later."


Branstad also said he would leverage his "longstanding relationship" with Chinese officials to gain Beijing's quicker approval of genetically modified U.S. corn traits， believing that the "friendship and trust" could help bring down some of the barriers to increase bilateral agricultural trade.


Asked about Trump's "American Frist" trade policy， Branstad downplayed the potential trade disputes between the U.S. and other countries， emphasizing that Trump was a deal-maker and businessman.


"Long time ago， he wrote a book called the Art of the Deal. He is a businessmen， and the best deal is a win-win situation，" the governor said， referring to Trump's bestselling book first published in 1987.


"I'm hopeful at the end of the day that the president and his administration will work to improve bilateral agreements and in fact enhance our ability to export，" he said. "So it's a matter of trying to negotiate the best deals for America， but in a way that's going to be a win-win for trading partners as well."


Branstad， 70， is the longest-serving governor in the U.S.， who also has long nurtured a close relationship with China and has visited China multi.
