BACKGROUND The World Health Organization has recently raised concerns regarding the low number of people fully vaccinated against COVID-19. ratio and emergence renewed infectious variants correspond to worsening public health. Global health managers have highlighted COVID-19 vaccine–related infodemics as a significant risk perception factor hindering mass vaccination campaigns. OBJECTIVE Given ambiguous digital communication environment that fostered infodemics, resource-limited nations struggle boost willingness encourage vaccinate. Authorities launched some communication–laden interventions in response infodemics. However, value strategies used tackle needs be evaluated. current research using tenets Situational Theory Problem Solving is novel, it explores impending effects strategies. relationship between infodemic-induced vaccine safety actions intensify was examined. METHODS This study cross-sectional design vis-à-vis nationally representative web-based survey. We collected data from 1946 internet users across Pakistan. Participants voluntarily participated this after completing consent form reading ethical permissions. Responses were received over 3 months, May 2022 July 2022. RESULTS results delineated positively affected perception. realization pushed engage risky communicative through reliance on searches for accurate information. Therefore, prospect managing information exposure (eg, interventions) situational context could predict robust CONCLUSIONS These pioneering offer strategic considerations authorities effectively manage descending spiral optimal protection concludes likelihood relevant improve one’s knowledge forfending selection, which can lead Hence, more situation-specific about underlying problem (ie, selection an appropriate vaccine) made accessible several official sources achieve active response.

This study aimed develop a conceptual framework for communication management (RCIM) during epidemics emergencies Iran that could have potential applications contexts. Design was designed two phases. Phase 1 involved semistructured qualitative interviews with key informants explore effective RCIM strategies across settings framework. 2 revising based on feedback from an online expert panel regarding its comprehensiveness validity. Setting Provincial/national Iran. Participants Twenty provincial national authorities who contributed response programmes participated interviews. Nine experts diverse academic disciplines, settings, geographical locations panel. Results model created discussions structured according six pillars of WHO system framework: leadership governance, information, workforce financial resources, along media community. Leadership including trustworthy leaders, were recommended as foundation developing Developing official strategy information infrastructures, high-quality surveillance systems, identified personnel training specialists workforce, channels community engagement recognised dimensions Conclusion proposed represents step toward establishing Further validation experiments how it potentially influence practice is recommended. has be applied contexts current form or customised local versions.

Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) are a leading global health challenge, causing 41 million deaths per year. Risk factors include genetics, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices. Adopting healthy lifestyles can prevent or delay the onset of NCDs, but misinformation lead people to make poor decisions about their health. To combat this, it is proposed develop an Intelligent System using Artificial Intelligence techniques collect analyze data from social media topics in public forecast providing guidelines spread.

Over the years, Ghana has made notable strides in adopting digital approaches to address societal challenges and meet demands. While health sector, particularly disease surveillance structure, embraced digitization enhance case detection, reporting, analysis, information dissemination, critical aspects remain be addressed. Although Integrated Disease Surveillance Response (IDSR) structure experienced remarkable growth digitization, certain areas require further attention as was observed during COVID-19 pandemic. pandemic, recognized importance of leveraging technologies bolster public response. To this end, implemented various tools combat These included 'Surveillance Outbreak Management Analysis System (SORMAS)', digitalized declaration form, ArcGIS Survey123, Talkwalker, 'Lightwave Health System' (LHIMS), 'District Information (DHIMS)'. systems significantly contributed country's success responding One key area where have proved invaluable is timely production daily situational updates. This task would been arduous delayed if reliant solely on paper-based forms, which hinder efficient reporting other levels within system. By these systems, able overcome such provide up-to-date for making informed decisions. paper attempts an extensive description currently employed Ghana's system context its response COVID-19.

Abstract Background: Ghana became the first nation in Sub-Saharan Africa to receive coronavirus vaccine, however, as of December 2023, only 44.3% Ghanaians had received at least two doses COVID-19 vaccines, with vaccine hesitancy reported 52.2%. This research aimed examine reasons for among farmers Northern Ghana. Methods: The study adopted a concurrent embedded mixed methods design which simultaneously collects qualitative and quantitative data. sampling participants was purposive, targeting five Farmer Based Organizations (FBOs). 24 were interviewed 30-45 minutes. transcripts imported into NVIVO version 14 analysis using Braun & Clarke's Reflexive Thematic analysis. Results: farmers' interviews revealed six themes related hesitancy: availability access, misconception about virus, preference universal brand, perceived side effects, fear death negative experiences, belief non-existence For findings, farmers’ current perspectives towards varied. About 37.5% would postpone receiving, 16.7% decline vaccination. About, 12.5% expressed some degree positivity vaccines. Meanwhile, 58.3% stated that currently unimportant. uptake northern has stalled due lack information virus no longer exists. Conclusion: To address this, it is crucial make single-dose vaccines more available, conduct ongoing public health campaigns, prioritize vulnerable population during emergencies.
