Misinformation, Disinformation, and Vaccine Hesitancy in Vietnam

Prepared by Lan Thuong Nguyen, a PhD. Candidate from the International Doctoral Program in Asia-Pacific Studies (IDAS) at National Chengchi University (NCCU), at the Center for Asia-Pacific Resilience and Innovation (CAPRi).

Lan Thuong Nguyen is a co-author of this project alongside an American researcher, Dr. Yen Pottinger, who has clearly defined responsibilities. Her role is sourcing and analyzing documents related to public health policies during the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccination promotion programs, communication strategies against COVID-19, and research articles and reports on vaccine acceptance rates among the Vietnamese population. Additionally, she examines public sentiment regarding the government's COVID-19 strategies and other relevant information. As a result, she searched, curated, and compiled the datasets and stored them in the depositar. She is also responsible for overseeing the storage, management, and, if necessary, customization of these data. The management process does not require additional resources or incur storage or data preparation costs. The datasets will be shared via the repository, with access requests managed by Lan Thuong Nguyen. No personal data is included in the datasets.

The project titled "Misinformation, Disinformation, and Vaccine Hesitancy in Vietnam" forms part of a broader series of studies analyzing vaccine hesitancy across various countries in the Asia-Pacific region. This research examines both the historical context and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a particular focus on the influence of misinformation and disinformation on governmental and civil society efforts to promote vaccination. It belongs to the Center for Asia-Pacific Resilience and Innovation (CAPRi). The project has been completed and posted on the Center for Asia-Pacific Resilience and Innovation (CAPRi) website.

In this case, the project aims to analyze the factors contributing to vaccine hesitancy in Vietnam, with a particular focus on the influence of misinformation and disinformation. It will examine the historical context, the role of digital and social media, and the effectiveness of governmental and public health responses in addressing these challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project contains metadata on the Vietnamese vaccination program and focuses on the country's public health policy, communication strategies, and vaccination experiences.

Files must be downloaded to use the entire dataset (depositar only provides limited data previews). This dataset consists of two ZIP files, one XLSX spreadsheet, six PDF files, and fifteen JPG files. The two ZIP files contain academic research and documents on experiences propagating COVID-19 vaccination in Vietnam in Vietnamese and English. They are collected for reference in this project, and each article/ research paper/ report is attached with links in each ZIP file. The XLSX spreadsheet is a collection of public health policies applicable to the country made by the author to understand how the Vietnamese government prevented, combated, and governed the anti-COVID-19 campaign. It is used for reference purposes. The five PDF files are a general overview, communication strategies, literature review, and documents and reports regarding the vaccination program. In particular, PDF number 1 is an information synthesis of communication strategy cited from the official websites of the government and the Communist Party. PDF number 2 is the literature review written by the author with detailed citations and references. It is conducted based on the requirements of the project manager to have an overview of Vietnam's public health policy. The creator also made PDF numbers 3, 4, and 5 summaries of vaccine programs with particular citations. PDF number six is a comprehensive collection of communication materials and guidelines for COVID-19 prevention and control in Vietnam, tailored for various demographics and community settings. Finally, fifteen JPG files are posters of the government's media campaign collected by the author to create examples of the campaign targeted toward different demographics in this project.

In its present state, the dataset is presented primarily in Vietnamese and English.

The dataset was compiled between February and May 2024 as part of a short-term project, with all data accessed from official sources. These sources include the NCOV specialized page on the Ministry of Health's electronic information portal, Health and Life newspaper, Family and Society newspaper, and information pages of the Ministry of Health, the Government, the Communist Party, and the Vietnam Fatherland Front. The project was conducted in Taipei.

The dataset contains a collection of posters and handbooks designed for various demographics, offering comprehensive guidelines for COVID-19 prevention in schools, households, elderly individuals, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and residents of apartments and dormitories. These resources, such as infographics, posters, and handbooks, were created to provide essential information for managing COVID-19 in Vietnam’s "new normal." Each guideline or poster is linked to its official source, and is named according to its target demographic. Further details on the posters and handbooks are available in the PDF file titled "The Government's Media Campaign Targeted Different Demographics."
