Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Social Media Interventions
  • Vaccine Promotion

Background:

  • Promoting Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination is crucial for public health.
  • Social media platforms offer novel avenues for health interventions.
  • Understanding user experiences in online health promotion is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine user experiences within a moderated Facebook group designed for COVID-19 vaccine promotion.
  • To assess participant satisfaction and identify key themes influencing their engagement.

Main Methods:

  • A moderated Facebook group intervention delivered 2-3 daily posts over four weeks.
  • Participants (N=216 unvaccinated individuals) were surveyed on their experiences and satisfaction.
  • Open-text responses were analyzed to identify emergent themes regarding program satisfaction.

Main Results:

  • The majority of participants (76.7%) were satisfied with the Facebook group, finding information useful and the environment safe.
  • Positive themes included useful information, friendly members, and a safe discussion space.
  • Negative feedback cited perceived pro-vaccination bias and rude member interactions; conservative participants reported lower satisfaction.

Conclusions:

  • Moderated Facebook groups are a viable platform for engaging individuals in COVID-19 vaccine promotion.
  • Improvements for future interventions include refining content balance and managing group dynamics.
  • Online platforms can be leveraged to enhance vaccine acceptance and uptake.
