Learning Objectives:

To learn the situation of anti-vax movement around the world and to consider what we should do in the face of vaccine hesitancy.

In 2019, the WHO has named vaccine hesitancy as one of the top 10 threats to global health. Vaccine

hesitancy is complex and context specific across time, place and vaccines; however, it is a

communicable condition spreading around the world through the internet. This session takes up three

representative problems: MMR vaccine in the Western countries, HPV vaccine in Japan, and dengue

virus vaccine in the Philippines. Understanding why there is a tendency to hesitate those vaccines

may lead to the solutions of problems. Moreover, the session introduces some enlightening activities,

including a joint project of AAP and Japan Pediatric Society.
