The current pandemic posed by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that emerged in late December 2019 continues to cause a global health crisis being close to two years since its appearance. Vaccination has proven to be the most therapeutically effective option in reducing the spread of the infection, particularly in curbing the mortality imposed by the virus [1]. However, introducing a novel vaccine amongst the general public is no easy task. In the opinion of the authors, the public has to make an informed decision accepting COVID-19 vaccine. However, unfortunately, the decisions and choices of the public are highly influenced by misinformation that has been circulating on social media. Throughout the pandemic, misinformation regarding COVID-19 and its vaccines existed, particularly on social media, which is flooded with false information regarding vaccine safety [2]. Social media is a weapon that could be a boon or a curse depending on its utilization. Although social media is believed to serve as one of the most efficient tools to educate the mass, it is often misused to spread inaccurate, inconsistent and incomplete information, particularly during the current pandemic [3]. The resistance of people to receive authorized and safe vaccines are termed as vaccine hesitancy, and this is an issue that was widely prevalent even before the COVID-19 pandemic [4]. Vaccine hesitancy is not a new concept; however, the drastic increase in vaccine misinformation on social media has made it a new imperative [5]. Social media could be a fundamental tool in either advocating for or against vaccination. Ever since the vaccination rollouts for COVID-19 has started, the public has been actively sharing their views and opinions on social media. Social media also been a major driving factor in the rise of misinformation that is eventually leading to vaccine hesitancy. Despite these unprecedented times, anti-vaccine groups are very active on social media, promoting false information regarding the adverse effects or post-effects of COVID-19 vaccines [6]. For instance, some popular falsehood adverse effects that are being discussed on social media are that COVID-19 vaccines have not been fully studied, and they can cause DNA mutation and birth defects [7]. Some other rumors include that a few participants in the vaccine trial have lost their lives and that the entire pandemic is a conspiracy and a bioweapon [8]. To increase the proportion of people who volunteer for vaccinations, particularly against COVID-19, researchers need to gather information on the reasons that drive the willingness or unwillingness. This could be done by estimating the predictors of negative attitudes toward vaccination and identify those groups who exhibit unwillingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Also, research should focus on specific vaccination promotion strategies for the anti-vaccine groups based on the factors that explain the probability of individuals refusing COVID-19 vaccination. Some state that personal protection against COVID-19 and the resultant fear of contracting the infection itself was the cause of their unwillingness to volunteer for vaccination [9]. There exists another group who are thoroughly convinced that they do not require to be vaccinated as they are already immune to the infection. Recently, the COVID-19 vaccines have been falsely claimed to cause infertility among women of reproductive age and miscarriages in pregnant women [10]. Lack of education and awareness among the general public is another possible reason that is worsening vaccine hesitancy [11]. However, the COVID-19 vaccines can also cause a few adverse effects, most of which have been graded�…
