Abstract

Integrating infodemiology into AMR and VH management strategies enhances public health outcomes by addressing misinformation at its roots and promoting evidence-based practices. By leveraging digital tools and engaging trusted local figures, health systems can foster trust and literacy among communities. African governments must invest in digital health infrastructure, establish supportive policies, and foster partnerships with social media platforms to sustainably manage infodemics. These strategies are ivotal for reducing AMR and increasing vaccine acceptance, ultimately safeguarding health across human, animal, and environmental domains.
