Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will conduct a review into whether vaccine misinformation has contributed to trends in levels of non-covid 19 vaccine uptake over the last 10 years.

The Government is committed to tackling vaccine misinformation. This includes ongoing monitoring of vaccine uptake and attitudes towards vaccines by the UK Health Security Agency. In addition, the Department works alongside the National Health Service, other Government departments and social media companies to tackle anti-vaccine messaging and limit misinformation. This 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.
