In a series of videos broadcast on the Foundation&#8217;s Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook pages, researchers from different fields, opinion leaders, and science communicators explain the importance of vaccines and why they plan to take the vaccine. Some of the testimonies were also aired by TV Cultura and cable TV channel Futura. \u201cThe COVID-19 vaccines being approved are safe,\u201d says hematologist Marco Antonio Zago, president of FAPESP and a professor at the School of Medicine at the University of S\u00e3o Paulo (USP) in Ribeir\u00e3o Preto. Initially set to last two weeks, the social media campaign will involve about 50 personalities. Motivated by the initiative, other research foundations, such as FAPEG in Goi\u00e1s and FAPEMIG in Minas Gerais, have launched their own campaigns. A December survey by DataFolha indicated that 22% of Brazilians do not plan on being vaccinated. \u201cA substantial number can be convinced that it is important to take the vaccine. We have to try to persuade them,\u201d says neuroscientist Luiz Eug\u00eanio Mello, scientific director of FAPESP and a professor at the Federal University of S\u00e3o Paulo (UNIFESP).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On January 18, FAPESP started the #vacinasim (\u201cyesvaccine\u201d) social media campaign to reinforce public confidence in their safety and effectiveness","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":391439,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1651],"tags":[242,232,260],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-391489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-notes","tag-immunology","tag-pharmacology","tag-public-health","keywords-coronavirus-en","keywords-covid-19-en","keywords-sars-cov-2-en","keywords-vaccine"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391489","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=391489"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391489\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":391490,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391489\/revisions\/391490"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/391439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=391489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=391489"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=391489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
