Sažetak
The global health crisis embodied in the COVID-19 pandemic has been followed by attempts to successfully prevent coronavirus disease since the first vaccines appeared. However, challenges have emerged in attempts to achieve a fully vaccinated population, to some extent, due to those who doubt or completely reject scientifically established facts about the effectiveness of vaccines. In effort to investigate and understand the factors associated with vaccine hesitancy, the goal of this paper is to address recent findings about the role of social networks/media use and acceptance of anti-vaccination content during the pandemic in Croatia. To do so, a systematic literature review of significant research has been made. In general, the literature review highlights the most important findings about the role of social networks/media use and acceptance of antivaccine content, but the results also highlight the limitations of the research. With this literature review focused on published articles from 2020-2022, an attempt was made to provide deeper insight and understanding of the role of social networks/media in the context of the acceptance of anti- vaccination content, bearing in mind the analytical criteria of the literature review according to the research design and the methods used.
