When searching for credible Immunization websites on the Internet, please consider the following:
To assess whether a website is providing credible evidence based information, scan the site to see whether it provides information on Authority (clearly states who hosts the site, and what their expertise is), Attribution (cite credible sources for their information), Disclosure (clearly states source of financial support, whether money is earned from products promoted on the site) and Currency (is information updated and current?). These principles are adapted from the HON Code Principles by the Health on the Net Foundation in Switzerland and an article entitled "Assessing, controlling and assuring the quality of medial information on the Internet" by Silberg et al., JAMA 1997;277(15): 1244-5.
