Mashup Score: 10Using social media to build confidence in vaccines: lessons from community engagement and social science research in Africa - 3 month(s) ago
Sara Cooper and colleagues argue that a better understanding of the complex sociopolitical drivers of distrust in vaccination will increase the potential of social media to rebuild vaccine confidence Vaccination experts have become increasingly alarmed about the continued waning of public confidence in vaccines.1 Social media are considered to be major contributors to this decline, facilitating the rapid and widespread sharing of misinformation, enabling vaccine anxieties and rumours to travel rapidly around the world.23 Social media are also seen to have enabled vocal anti-vaccination groups to self-organise and communicate well beyond their local areas.45 The covid-19 pandemic has only magnified these concerns,6 as Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health Organization put it, “We’re not just fighting a pandemic; we’re fighting an infodemic.”7 This dominant narrative on mistrust in vaccines assumes that it is primarily the result of a lack of information, and t

Artificial intelligence has potential to counter vaccine hesitancy while building trust in vaccines, but it must be deployed ethically and responsibly, argue Heidi Larson and Leesa Lin Given the sluggish pace of traditional scientific approaches, artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI, has emerged as a significant opportunity to tackle complex health challenges, including those in public health.1 Against this backdrop, interest has focused on whether AI has a role in bolstering public trust in vaccines and helping to minimise vaccine hesitancy, which the World Health Organization named as one of the top 10 global health threats.2 Vaccine hesitancy is a state of indecision before accepting or refusing a vaccination.3 It is a dynamic and context specific challenge that varies across time, place, and vaccine type. It is influenced by a range of factors, including sociocultural and political dynamics, as well as individual and group psychology. Its multifaceted and tempor

Mashup Score: 8Centring health workers and communities is key to building vaccine confidence online - 3 month(s) ago
Santi Indra Astuti and colleagues argue that whole-of-society efforts are needed to build an internet ecosystem that helps communities be resilient to future health misinformation challenges A local saying in Indonesia is that it is the most hoax filled country on Earth. As one of the world’s most diverse countries, with over 700 languages and people spread across 16 000 islands, it is challenging to reach its population with information that is credible and accurate. Misinformation has circulated in the country’s national media and affected discourse on everything from politics to natural disasters to immunisation for over a decade.12 Drawing from our experience with MAFINDO, a local civil society organisation dedicated to tackling misinformation and building health literacy within the community, we have learnt that promoting credible and compelling sources of health information benefits from taking a whole-of-society approach that helps to translate science for a general audience and
