MISINFORMATION TOOLKIT
Mitigating the Impact of Vaccine Disinformation & Misinformation Among Patients
The COVID-19 Pandemic created widespread and long-lasting societal disruptions. It brought to light the deeply rooted inequities within our society and created opportunities for bad actors to spread disinformation. These inequities, along with rampant mis- and disinformation, have increased vaccine hesitancy throughout the United States. This toolkit was developed with pediatric healthcare providers in mind to take actionable steps in mitigating the impact of mis- and disinformation and increasing vaccine confidence.
With This Toolkit, Healthcare Providers Can:
- Gain a deeper understanding of disinformation & misinformation surrounding vaccines
- Learn how misinformation is spreading in today’s digital landscape
- Understand the drivers behind this misinformation
- Explore ways individuals and clinics can better address dis- and misinformation
- Build motivational interviewing skills
- Find new ways to better manage vaccine refusals
