Sentiment Analysis of the Covid-19 Vaccines on Social Media

Chad A Melton et al. Stud Health Technol Inform. .

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic fueled one of the quickest vaccine developments in history. Misinformation on online social media often leads to negative vaccine sentiment. We conducted a sentiment analysis and Latent Dirichlet Allocation topic modeling from Reddit communities focusing on the COVID-19 vaccine. Polarity analysis suggested these communities expressed positive sentiment regarding the vaccine. However, topic modeling revealed community members mainly focused on the side effects and vaccination experience.

Keywords: Covid-19; Natural Language Processing; Vaccines.
