Mapping information exposure on social media to explain differences in HPV vaccine coverage in the United States.
TL;DR: Analysis of exposure to information about HPV vaccines on Twitter found vaccine coverage was lower in states where safety concerns, misinformation, and conspiracies made up higher proportions of exposures, suggesting that negative representations of vaccines in the media may reflect or influence vaccine acceptance.
