Abstract
It is inevitable that films about vaccines, such as on any other subject, will influence the perception people have of them.
This study aims to understand the role and image of the vaccines given in the film world through some movies.
Methods: observational descriptive study. We performed a comprehensive analysis of the films made with a script specifically written for this purpose.
Results: vaccines presented in the analyzed films fit the definition of vaccine in 50% of cases and they weren’t administered according to rules in 30% of the films.
Conclusion: in general films gave a positive image of the vaccines; they were categorized as "saviors of humankind". In the same way, vaccine researchers were seen as heroes.
