VACCINE HESITATION

Vaccination is one of the gold standards in dealing with infectious diseases. The concept of vaccine hesitancy, which emerged with the emergence of vaccines and continues to maintain its place today, is one of the biggest obstacles to vaccination. Various methods have been developed throughout history to deal with this situation. These methods were sometimes carried out by pages created by the state. However, with the emergence of opinions that this method was shared for a purpose, its importance began to be shaken. Anti-vaccine segments sharing their views on social media has led to increased hesitancy towards vaccination. In this context, we aimed to create a resource that can be used in case of vaccine hesitancy by creating a web page where the importance of vaccination for children and the common misconceptions about vaccination are explained based on evidence, as opposed to anti-vaccine pages. We also aimed to examine the impact of this web page we will create on vaccine literacy and vaccine acceptance.
