Artificial intelligence-enabled social media analysis for pharmacovigilance of COVID-19 vaccinations in the United Kingdom: Observational Study.
Abstract
The roll-out of vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 in the United Kingdom, started in December 2020. Uptake has been high, and there has been a subsequent reduction in infections, hospitalisations and deaths in vaccinated individuals. However, vaccine hesitancy remains a concern, in particular relating to adverse effects following immunisation (AEFI). Social media analysis has the potential to inform policymakers on AEFIs being discussed by the public, and on public attitudes towards the national immunisation campaign.
