Social listening is the first step in managing the infodemic but little is known of the experience of public health professionals using social media analysis tools for health.

Results reveal gaps in technical capabilities of tools, data sources, and languages covered. For future planning for infodemic preparednessand preventi on it is vital to understand and deliver for analysis needs of those working in the field.
