A website has been launched aimed at inspiring confidence in vaccines and counteracting vaccine misinformation and disinformation.
Science Foundation Ireland has teamed up with academics from DCU for the About Vaccines site, which contains information on common myths and untruths around the Covid vaccine and other jabs.
Parents and guardians in Dublin's inner city and north county Dublin volunteered as part of the project to help make the information easy to understand and inclusive for all.
Lecturer in health communication at DCU, Barbara Gormley, says it was important to get parents on board with the campaign:
"It is absolutely necessary for any kind of health campaign information that is inclusive and that we get the voices on board and we get people's opinions. So if we see some of ourselves and we are more likely to respond to that information"
