Results – Passivity and Trust
No. No. No. If they say go, then I’ll just go… Canada places a high importance toward children and won’t cause any harm toward them. So because of that and they have already done research to see what is good for the children, then I’ll just go with them (Chinese Participant)
Results - Trust
If these vaccination are at the approval of the government and have gone through medical and scientific test and it’s safe, I don’t think it’s a problem… Over here, I feel completely secure.(Chinese Participant)

Technical and Regulatory Understandings
There was once that after the vaccination, he developed a fever and a second time, he had some reaction… Nothing serious and I think he is accustomed to it. He didn’t cry or fuss about it. I think it’s good. (Chinese Participant)
Results: (un)Informed Consent
It was nothing like that. On our first visit, we had gone to the nurse and she told us that if we are staying close to the baby, this is the list of vaccines we give…She asked me a few questions. It also depended on which origin you were from…I think that’s how she did it, how she decided which vaccines .(South Asian Participant)
