Abstract
The article examines the impact of the information environment on the level of population coverage with preventive vaccinations in the context of the digitalization of society and the dissemination of false information. The key information barriers and factors of trust in sources of information about vaccination are described. The data from sociological and epidemiological studies, statistics on vaccination coverage in Russia and abroad are presented, as well as an assessment of the role of government policy and media support for preventive campaigns. The statements of experts in the field of immunoprophylaxis and the provisions of current regulatory documents regulating the field of vaccine prevention are analyzed.
