Abstract
Vaccination has prevented serious illness and death in children and adults for more than 200 years. However, conflicting statements and misleading information about the benefits and risks of vaccines are becoming more common. This is especially true on the internet and social media. Many of these conflicting statements appear to come from experts, which can lead to confusion about which information to trust. Finding accurate information about vaccines is important for people trying to make healthy decisions for themselves and their families.
