信息和通信技术(信通技术)，如因特网或移动电话，已成为当今青少年生活的重要组成部分及其获取信息的主要手段。基于社交网络技术的新一代互联网Web2.0越来越多地被外行人和健康专业人员用于健康目的。广泛的Web 2.0应用程序为医护人员提供了几个机会，因为他们可以以个性化的方式接触到大量青少年，并以互动和娱乐的方式推广与疫苗相关的知识。应该监测这些应用程序，即社交网络和视频共享网站、维基和微博，以便确定当前对疫苗接种的态度，回应疫苗接种批评者，并与用户建立实时对话。此外，移动电话的普及使其成为让青少年参与免疫宣传的宝贵手段，特别是在发展中国家。
Information and communication technologies (ICT), such as the Internet or mobile telephony, have become an important part of the life of today's adolescents and their main means of procuring information. The new generation of the Internet based on social-networking technologies, Web 2.0, is increasingly used for health purposes by both laypeople and health professionals. A broad spectrum of Web 2.0 applications provides several opportunities for healthcare workers, in that they can reach large numbers of teenagers in an individualized way and promote vaccine-related knowledge in an interactive and entertaining manner. These applications, namely social-networking and video-sharing websites, wikis and microblogs, should be monitored in order to identify current attitudes toward vaccination, to reply to vaccination critics and to establish a real-time dialog with users. Moreover, the ubiquity of mobile telephony makes it a valuable means of involving teenagers in immunization promotion, especially in developing countries.
