Infodemiology of public sentiment toward the measles vaccine in Canada: A google trends and health belief model-based analysis, 2025.
Summary: Measles is still a danger in Canada, even though a vaccine is available. Because some people are unsure about getting the shot, researchers looked at what Canadians searched for on Google in early 2025. They wanted to understand how people feel about the measles vaccine. They found that searches peaked in March. People in Alberta searched a lot, while searches in Manitoba and Saskatchewan showed more negative feelings. Many people were looking for a reason to act, or they were worried about things stopping them from getting the vaccine. This shows that health experts need to use different messages for different parts of the country to help people feel safe getting vaccinated.
