Effect of Infodemic on Covid -19 Vaccination
Abstract
The pandemic Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has developed as a major and global public health crisis. Despite the increase in cases and fatalities, the outbreak has also had an impact on communities, jobs, and safety regulations. As billions are quarantined at home to contain the infection, the uncertainty caused huge anguish. Outlining, there has been a concealed epidemic of "information," reflecting COVID-19 as a "digital infodemic" from previous epidemics. With growing digitalization, media penetration has expanded, with a larger number of individuals attributing to "information pollution."
