Opinion about vaccination of adolescents and pregnant women with the Pfizer vaccine against CVI in many comments, there is an erroneous belief in the side effect of the vaccine. On the Telegram channel "Association of parents and students of schoolchildren of Kazakhstan against vaccination of children" (https://t.me/joinchat/FycvZ7xro5xlZmU6) the possibility of transferring children to distance learning in order to avoid vaccination is actively discussed. The channel contains links to Instagram posts about the harmful effects of the vaccine and the support of Aina Bakeeva.
On the above-mentioned Telegram channel, there was also activity among the population to distribute Instagram links to the public "10_region_grazhdanskiy_kontrol", which promote "anti-virus behavior".
On November 02, 2021, an unscheduled briefing was held at the CBD site by the head of the Department of Education, acting head of the Department of Health and the head of the DSEC on the ongoing work to prevent the spread of CVI in the educational process. An important thesis at the briefing is the voluntariness of vaccination of adolescents and the inadmissibility of vaccination of students without the consent of parents (legal representatives). According to the results of the briefing, information was published on the Websites "our Gazeta", "our Kostanay", "Kostanay Dawn", "Kostanay News", "Sakshi info", "Kazinform", in the public domain "Kostanay news". An analysis of reviews in the news shows that users are skeptical about these measures:" for adults, they sang the same song, and then he was fired", " this voluntary - forced agreement we know how it will end.They will not be sent to school without a vaccine", " school principals are trying.....oh, how they try to implement the" voluntary " factionalization plan.
In addition, the Instagram account" 10_region_grazhdanskiy_kontrol " posted a message about making an appointment with the head of the Department of education of the regional akimat and inviting the parent community to participate in the reception. Issues proposed for consideration: vaccination of adolescents, installation of turnstiles in schools, Prohibition of telephone lessons, educational evacuation, distance education.
It should be noted that the Instagram account "10_region_grazhdanskiy_kontrol" and its owner Azamat Karimov have all the signs of a provocative act for "hype". Thus, the account includes consideration of a number of resonant issues that do not have a single basis ("exposing" police officers, transferring time, refusing vaccination). Thus, Karimov does not recommend conducting a constructive dialogue on the principle of" opposition to the akimat", but considers the painful aspects of various social groups. Based on the headlines and comments on the account, the audience can be described as categorical opponents of vaccination.
As one of the leaders of public opinion of the ATC, work was carried out to involve N. Gignatov (Center for consumer rights protection of Rudny, hereinafter referred to as the CTO) in the discussion on vaccination. Gignatov's timely attitude and work in the comments on the Odnoklassniki website made it possible to put his opinion on vaccination against the actions of Azamat Karimov. Ginyatov, being legally competent, gives arguments based on vaccination.
Based on the information in the work, further use the following recommendations::
In order to abandon the practice of mass counteraction to publications on the account" 10_region_grazhdanskiy_kontrol", reduce the coverage and popularity of the account;
Responsibility for criticism of the actions of state bodies should be provided in the official accounts of interested bodies;
Conducting explanatory work in parent chats, parent meetings of general education schools with the invitation of Health representatives using the main thesis-voluntary vaccination is not carried out without the consent of parents;
The number and quality of materials on the reliability of vaccines in the media, including in social networks, is determined by international examples (for example, https://tengrinews.kz/usa/ssha-okonchatelno-odobrili-vaktsinatsiyu-detey-starshe-5-let-452867/);
Using the method of local advertising of vaccination, focusing not on the vaccine itself and the vaccination process, but on the positive impact (the possibility of obtaining"green status", access to international travel, etc.);
Conducting explanatory work with employees in contact with the target audience to prove positive vaccination practices.
