@Pinterest @pahowho @WHO_Europe @WHOSEARO @WHOAFRO @WHOWPRO @WHOEMRO Misinformation about vaccines is as contagious and dangerous as the diseases it helps to spread.
Misinformation about vaccination has spread far and fast on social media platforms in many different countries, including during critical vaccination campaigns

@Pinterest @pahowho @WHO_Europe @WHOSEARO @WHOAFRO @WHOWPRO @WHOEMRO @DrTedros The truth is, #VaccinesWork.
Smallpox has been eradicated thanks to vaccines, and vaccines have brought us to the brink of eradicating polio. Rates of many other diseases including measles have been dramatically reduced thanks to the life-saving power of vaccines.

@Pinterest @pahowho @WHO_Europe @WHOSEARO @WHOAFRO @WHOWPRO @WHOEMRO @DrTedros Vaccines are one of the most powerful innovations in the history of public health, and one of the best investments in a healthier, safer world bit.ly/2UfLFkW #VaccinesWork
WHO estimates that that vaccines save at least 2 million lives every year. Countless more children avoid debilitating diseases, prolonged hospital stays and time out of school #VaccinesWork
Yet, a social media response - while absolutely necessary - is just one part of a comprehensive approach to ensuring broad trust in #vaccination; it also requires substantive efforts by govts in building health systems that are worthy of that trust & respond to parents’ needs.
