Developing effective digital communications strategies for driving HPV vaccine uptake in Japan, Korea, and China

Overview

This research applies communication and behavioural theories to comprehensively assess confidence in and acceptance of HPV vaccines in Japan, Korea, and China amongst people who have not received the vaccine, in order to develop effective digital communication strategies to increase uptake.

Methodology

The project employs a suite of mixed-methods data collection and analysis – including a combination of quantitative surveys, experiments, qualitative semi-structured interviews, and social listening data – to examine the target population’s decision-making process. The research also explores the role of healthcare providers in HPV vaccine roll-out, and design effective communication strategies including digital messaging components (messenger, content, platform etc).

How to speak to a vaccine sceptic: research reveals what works

The first thing to do if someone expresses uncertainty about vaccines to you, say researchers, is not to judge or dismiss them. A lot of people have genuine and legitimate questions and “you’re going to lose them if you immediately jump back and say ‘that’s silly’ or ‘that’s not the fact’”, Larson says.

Mapping global public perspectives on mRNA vaccines and therapeutics

We conducted a social listening analysis to assess attitudes towards mRNA vaccines and therapeutics on Twitter from June 2022 to May 2023. Our findings reveal widespread negative sentiment and a global lack of confidence in mRNA vaccines and therapeutics, with frequent discussions of severe vaccine side effects, rumors, and misinformation.
