Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to tackle vaccine misinformation.
The Government is committed to tackling vaccine misinformation. The Department is working alongside the National Health Service, other Government departments and social media companies to tackle anti-vaccine messaging, to limit misinformation. Part of this effort includes supporting strategic communication teams to identify and rebut false information, as well as ensuring reputable sources such as NHS.UK or GOV.UK are prominent and readily available. We remain vigilant and will continue this work, applying the lessons learned to our evolving strategy.
