Abstract

Abstract Great advances in immunization have resulted in the eradication of multiple deadly diseases. Nevertheless, current sources of misinformation, such as social media, have led to growing vaccination hesitancy and refusal to vaccinate. It is the role of medical and information professionals to educate the general public about the importance of evaluating online information on immunization and to provide access to the most accurate, comprehensive, and high-quality online health-care resources. Numerous free, reputable websites created by government and health-care institutions should be recommended to patients to address questions about the safety of vaccines, importance of immunization, and vaccination schedules.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet is the only professional peer-reviewed journal devoted to locating consumer health information via the Internet. In this journal librarians and health information providers describe programs and services aimed at helping patients and the general public find the health information they need. From the Editor: "Studies have shown that health information is one of the major reasons that people worldwide access the Internet. As the amount of health information on the Web increases exponentially, it becomes critical that librarians-including public and medical librarians-be knowledgeable about what is available online and be able to direct users to reliable, accurate, quality information."
