It wouldn't surprise me if Obama using vaccines as part of secret assassination campaigns was also hurting coverage in the US.
Is there any good research on the causes of the vaccination gaps here? Most of the pro-vaccine organizations claim that the main/only reason people avoid vaccinations is because they (falsely) believe that vaccines are the cause of the autism epidemic, but this seems like pharma propaganda to discredit anyone who is skeptical of any vaccine for any reason.

Is there a word for that? Anyway, I don't know if you count the CDC as a 'pro-vaccine organization' but they are aware of and have responses to multiple misconceptions about vaccines. http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/6mishome.htm http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/6mishome.htm

You don't have to look very hard on the internet to hear anti-vaxxer's arguments straight from the horse's mouth, although in my experience anyone who expresses disagreement with such arguments in a context where they are seriously entertained will be quickly labelled as a shill for the pharmaceutical industry.
