Draft:Vaccine myths and misconceptions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vaccine myths and misconceptions are inaccurate beliefs widely held about the safety and effects of vaccines. Since the vaccine’s first success in 1796.[1], it has been accused of numerous myths and misconceptions emerging from various controversies. The spread of groundless narratives about vaccinations creates vaccine myths, while misinterpretations of a specific vaccine science fact produce vaccine misconceptions[2]. Both aspects induce public fear of vaccination, resulting in vaccine hesitancy, a perturbation, or rejection to be immunized[3]. Most vaccine myths and misconceptions are related to the instrument itself, but there are some false claims about specific vaccinations owing to their distinct traits. Vaccine hesitancy causes a decline in the vaccination rate, ultimately reaching a damaging impact on public health[3]. Thus, elucidating vaccine myths and misconceptions is crucial to support infection prevention and control.

Comment: Many aspects of this article already exist at Vaccine misinformation. A merge may be forthcoming. Also, "conclusion" sections are uncommon in Wikpedia articles. Reconrabbit 17:50, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
