Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps she is taking to tackle the prevalence of anti-vaccination information and its impact on levels of childhood vaccinations.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is working closely with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS), media, social media, and technology companies on innovative ways to tackle proliferation of anti-vaccine messaging, limit misinformation, promote positive messages about vaccination and ensure that reputable sources such as NHS.uk are the most prominent.
