“…65,66 Additionally, the Philadelphia Department of Public Health launched a Facebook campaign to target local adolescents and found that messages focused on HPV disease risk and local resources were the most successful in engaging their audience, but they did not see an increase in vaccine uptake as a result. 63 An online experiment with college students did find however that participants who viewed a Facebook message about the negative consequences of not getting vaccinated were significantly more likely to intend to get vaccinated than those who saw the same message via an online newspaper. 67…”

This article summarizes the findings from a systematic literature review to examine how social media may impact HPV vaccine uptake and HPV and HPV vaccine related awareness, knowledge, and attitudes. Study inclusion criteria was original data collection of at least one data point about social media and HPV and/or HPV vaccination, such that the study provided insight into how social media content may influence HPV and HPV vaccine related knowledge, attitudes, and/or behaviors. A total of 44 relevant articles were identified using the following databases: PubMed, PsycINFO, Communication Source, Sociological Abstracts, Business Source Elite, and the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC). Most studies analyzed the valence, type, and frequency of social media content about HPV vaccination, and some found associations between potential exposure to negative, anti-vacc`11qine content and lower vaccination rates. Some studies that included primary human subject data collection found that engagement with HPV related social media content was associated with improved awareness and knowledge but not with increased vaccine uptake. The literature overall is lacking in systematic and rigorous research examining the effects of social media on HPV related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors and needs further examination as social media increasingly becomes a source of health information.

“…Healthcare providers are amongst the most trusted information sources, with the caveat that vaccine hesitant parents may harbor anti-physician and anti-establishment sentiments. 54,61,64,65 Nevertheless, direct communication between healthcare providers and patients is known to reduce vaccine concerns and improve overall uptake. 57,61 Healthcare providers should become acquainted with social media platforms to increase communication between themselves and their patients.…”

Despite major advances in vaccination over the past century, resurgence of vaccine-preventable illnesses has led the World Health Organization to identify vaccine hesitancy as a major threat to global health. Vaccine hesitancy may be fueled by health information obtained from a variety of sources, including new media such as the Internet and social media platforms. As access to technology has improved, social media has attained global penetrance. In contrast to traditional media, social media allow individuals to rapidly create and share content globally without editorial oversight. Users may self-select content streams, contributing to ideological isolation. As such, there are considerable public health concerns raised by anti-vaccination messaging on such platforms and the consequent potential for downstream vaccine hesitancy, including the compromise of public confidence in future vaccine development for novel pathogens, such as SARS-CoV-2 for the prevention of COVID-19. In this review, we discuss the current position of social media platforms in propagating vaccine hesitancy and explore next steps in how social media may be used to improve health literacy and foster public trust in vaccination.

“…Leonardo DiCaprio's and other public figures' initiatives show that dissemination of information can take place completely outside the context of a political campaign and may even produce more public engagement than any planned events. The scientific community is starting to discover that messages from bottom-up communication channels (e.g., Facebook, Twitter) can even surpass, weaken, or diminish the productiveness of planned messages [52,53].…”

Climate change has been one of the most debated topics in the past few decades, but a number of challenges have hindered the development of robust policies and strategies by nations. At the same time, social media platforms-such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook-have given the opportunity for the general public to share opinions and engage with the issue of climate change like never before. This phenomenon is considered to be a new form of soft power which can provide input into the discussion and possibly affect the current international political mechanisms. The present paper aims to (1) define the forms and characteristics of social media as a soft power method, (2) analyze its influence on the awareness of societies, and (3) assess if increased public awareness could influence the official political and policy processes. In order to assess if social media has influence on people's relative awareness, we have focused on analyzing the links between a few highly visible climate change related events and the trends in people's searches on the Internet in connection to those events. The study finds that even though it is difficult to assess the effects of social media as a soft power tool with certainty, there are visible links between social media and changing public perceptions, with the possibility of public opinion influencing political decision-making.
