Public health systems need to be able to detect and respond to infodemics (outbreaks of misinformation, disinformation, information overload, or information voids). Drawing from our experience at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the COVID-19 State of Vaccine Confidence Insight Reporting System has been created as one of the first public health infodemic surveillance systems. Key functions of infodemic surveillance systems include monitoring the information environment by person, place, and time; identifying infodemic events with digital analytics; conducting offline community-based assessments; and generating timely routine reports. Although specific considerations of several system attributes of infodemic surveillance system must be considered, infodemic surveillance systems share several similarities with traditional public health surveillance systems. Because both information and pathogens are spread more readily in an increasingly hyperconnected world, sustainable and routine systems must be created to ensure that timely interventions can be deployed for both epidemic and infodemic response.
公共卫生系统需要能够检测和应对信息疫情（错误信息、虚假信息、信息过载或信息空白的爆发）。借鉴美国疾病控制与预防中心的经验，创建了 COVID-19 疫苗信心洞察报告系统，作为首批公共卫生信息疫情监测系统之一。信息疫情监测系统的主要功能包括按人员、地点和时间监测信息环境；通过数字分析识别信息疫情事件；进行线下社区评估；以及生成及时的常规报告。尽管必须考虑信息疫情监测系统的几个系统属性的具体考虑因素，但信息疫情监测系统与传统公共卫生监测系统有几个相似之处。由于信息和病原体在日益高度互联的世界中更容易传播，因此必须创建可持续和常规的系统，以确保可以及时采取干预措施，应对疫情和信息疫情。
