Abstract

Vaccination is the most efficient and economical way to prevent diseases, so greater investment in this methodology is essential, both in research and in the dissemination of true information about its importance. In Brazil, the National Immunization Program (PNI) and the Ministry of Health (MS) are fundamental bodies in the distribution and dissemination of vaccines, however due to social difficulties, political problems and denial of science, Brazil has suffered a great wave of denial against vaccines and difficulties in immunizing against COVID-19 during the pandemic. OBJECTIVE: Finding ideas, pertinent facts, and discussions around fake news and vaccinations in scientific literature can help researchers determine how much the public is aware of vaccination and the effects of false information on low vaccination coverage. METHODOLOGY: Literature review using the main internet databases to select articles. CONCLUSIONS: Vaccines have a great impact on disease control, but since society is aware of this, vaccine coverage has decreased mainly due to the spread of false news.
