Research suggests confidence in all types of vaccination has taken a significant hit.

In 2023 70% of UK adults said that vaccinations were safe and effective, down from 90% in 2018 .

Vaccine Confidence Project: 52 of 55 countries polled see a drop in confidence since 2019 .

Childhood vaccination rates have fallen further below recommended levels.

Social media sites have gone from niche start-ups to established parts of the media landscape.

Young adults are the group most likely to use social media to make decisions about their personal health.

Lockdowns and restrictions meant many in their late teens and twenties lost out on education, on early job opportunities and on full social lives in the pandemic.

But they were far less likely than older groups to fall seriously ill after catching the virus.

There's a danger we are starting to pay a "long term price" for vaccines, says Prof Heidi Larson .

The worry is if people feel forced or coerced into taking a vaccine at certain times, wider vaccine confidence and uptake may experience a backlash.
