A IMPORTÂNCIA DA EDUCAÇÃO EM SAÚDE COMO FERRAMENTA A FAVOR DA VACINAÇÃO CONTRA O SARAMPO E O COMBATE AO MOVIMENTO ANTIVACINA E FAKE NEWS

Abstract

The theme of this research is the importance of health education with the use of light technology in health, in favor of promoting vaccination against Measles in order to combat Fake News. As it is a serious and highly contagious disease, measles vaccination should be widely encouraged in all regions of Brazil. However, it is observed that members of the anti-vaccination movement use Fake News, interfering with adherence to vaccination in children, young people and adults. This work aims that health education can help raise awareness of vaccination against Measles and other highly contagious diseases. More specifically, the work has the fundamental role of providing reliable sources of information on the subject (sites such as the Ministry of Health, National Immunization Program - PNI), awareness of the influence of vaccination and the increase in re-emerging diseases, promoting adherence and updating from the vaccination booklet – MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) and to clarify possible reasons that nourish the anti-vaccine movement and Fake News. This is a systematic literature review. It was found that despite childhood vaccination being highly effective, part of the population was not vaccinated due to lack of access and necessary information. The studies showed a drop in vaccine coverage and that the spread of false information about the risks of immunization contributed to non-adherence, causing the return of previously eradicated diseases. To combat this situation, health education becomes an essential tool for nursing to reverse this situation, either through active search, followed by guidance, or through lectures in school environments.
