Abstract in brief

  • This study investigates the use of transformer-based machine learning models to analyze and categorize public sentiment towards maternal vaccination expressed on Twitter, aiming to overcome challenges of manual data analysis.
  • Researchers analyzed over 16,000 tweets, categorizing them into Promotional, Discouraging, Ambiguous, and Neutral stances, then trained models to automatically identify these attitudes, achieving an accuracy comparable to human annotators.
  • The findings suggest that advanced machine learning methods, like transformers, can effectively assess complex vaccine sentiments on social media, potentially aiding future health interventions and public health strategies.
