Opinion | As an autism researcher, I've dealt with anti-vax misinformation for years. Here's how we can combat it during the COVID vaccine rolllout. By

in America — to see that injection of hope. It's been weeks since that first injection, with thousands more frontline workers across the nation having received it, and it's up to us now to trust it even more.

Second, we must explain the science. As we have seen with the confusion around autism, if people don't understand the basics of what a vaccine is or does, then of course, this is bound to lead to distrust. It seems like scientists developed these COVID-19 vaccines in a pressure cooker, and in a sense, they did. However, it is imperative to communicate all of the safety, regulatory and strict guidelines that were adhered to, just as any other drug would have been.

We also need to understand how it was tested and who should get it. For example, I am hearing from parents that they will not vaccinate their kids, because they do not trust the safety of the vaccine. The fact is that the vaccines havebeen tested in kids, and won't be offered to them at this moment. This is true to any population which has not been included in the clinical trials, including pregnant women.

And finally, it's important for you to make an effort, and stay in the know. Doctors, health systems, and the media need to report on the numbers of those vaccinated, the effects – both the positives and negatives outcomes – as the vaccines rollout. This continuous update of data will empower more people who may have been on the fence around taking the vaccine to get it.
