Abstract

The research project examines the reception and dissemination of information regarding the Covid-19 vaccination in Switzerland on social media. The study will show to what extent key statements/messages from the authorities regarding the Covid-19 vaccination are adopted and disseminated on social media and how this information and its sources are evaluated. The findings on the reception and dissemination of information and disinformation will be compared in order to be able to assess the role of disinformation in shaping the public's opinion on the subject of Covid-19 vaccination.
