‘Ask anything’ vodcast episode

Vaccine facts

• Vaccinations prevent up to three million deaths worldwide every year and help many more people avoid a stay in hospital.
• When more people get vaccinated, it helps protect vulnerable individuals for whom vaccination is not safe and/or effective by helping to stop diseases spreading.
• Wider vaccination benefits include keeping children in school by preventing illness.
• How to spot potentially misleading social media post.

There are a few steps you can take to help spot potentially misleading posts on social media. First of all – stop and take a minute to reflect on what you are reading. Don’t just share straight away without digging a little deeper.

It can be tricky to see exactly who created the post but see if you can find out where it came from. It might be a friend or someone you follow, but do you know their background and views? For example, do they have any expertise in the subject area or are they from a reputable media outlet committed to independent journalism?

Try to view the post, story or information in its original context. It might have been edited or taken out of context, which changes the meaning. An internet search can add more context.
