Sammanfattning
This article deals with how adolescents made their decision connected to
the swine flu vaccination which was offered during 2009-2010. The starting
point is a video diary study which was conducted during the vaccination
campaign. In this study, seven adolescents documented their thoughts and
decisions connected to the swine flu and the offered vaccination. The results
demonstrated that the adolescents’ argumentation was based on the concepts
risk, knowledge and solidarity. However, what was seen as the large
risk, the disease or the vaccination differed. Risk, knowledge and solidarity
were often connected to actors who were seen as important in the debate,
for instance media, family and friends, and the society. This article discusses
the importance of decision-making in subjects where knowledge and risks
connected to the phenomena are unclear or unsecure.
