The Family in Room 1: Social Media and Vaccine Hesitancy
“Nothing but the truth”—this is what families deserve and what pediatric nurses are trusted to provide. As vaccine hesitancy increases and misinformation spreads, families are seeking reliable answers from trusted healthcare professionals. In 2019, vaccine hesitancy was named as one of the top ten threats to global health by the World Health Organization (WHO), threatening to reverse progress made in tackling vaccine-preventable diseases. This timely Journal Club module, The Family in Room 1: Social Media and Vaccine Hesitancy, offers a comprehensive look at the roots of vaccine hesitancy, the rise of the infodemic, diverse perspectives on immunization, and how social media and online misinformation have eroded public confidence in childhood vaccines.

Following completion of this module, you will be empowered to speak with confidence and help families make informed, confident decisions that protect their children and strengthen the community
