The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a rise in opposition to vaccination, hindering herd immunity. As social media play a major role in the formation of anti-vaccination communities, it is critical to monitor the discourse on the platforms to effectively counter the negative sentiment and encourage people to vaccinate. This study employs computational content analysis, specifically topic modeling and time series analysis, to monitor the COVID-19 anti-vaccination communities on Facebook in Czechia. The analysis generated 18 topics with politics, governance, and international affairs being the most discussed, and only five dealt with issues directly related to COVID-19. Discussions about information and its credibility were prevalent, and members of these anti-vaccination communities relied heavily on social media content and conspiracy websites as sources of information, while neglecting scientific resources. The study highlights the need for ongoing monitoring of anti-vaccination communities on social media and the development of effective communication strategies to promote vaccination.

Celem artykułu jest potraktowanie tematyki szczepień jako debaty społecznej. Oddajemy w nim głos przedstawicielom trzech środowisk: medycznego, antyszczepionkowców oraz rodziców, którzy poszukują mocnych argumentów „za” lub „przeciw”, aby ostatecznie podjąć (według nich) właściwą decyzję. Lęk rodziców przed skutkami szczepień wywołał wśród opinii społecznej wiele kontrowersji. Jedno jest pewne: ludzie mają prawo się bać. Natomiast obowiązkiem lekarzy i pielęgniarek jest zadbanie o to, aby wszelkie obawy, strach i niepewność zostały rozwiane.

The aim of the article is to treat the subject of vaccination as a social debate. We give our voices to representatives of three environments: medical, anti-vaccination and parents who seek strong arguments “for” or “against” to finally make (according to them) the right decision. Parents’ fear of the effects of vaccination caused a lot of controversy among the public opinion. One thing is certain: people have the right to be afraid. However, the duty of doctors and nurses is to ensure that all fears, anxieties and uncertainty are dispelled.
