Keywords:
COVID-19. Socio-scientific issues. Vaccines. Initial Teachers Training. Early years education.Abstract
COVID-19 is being the perfect scenario to spread both misinformation and deliberately false information about vaccines. In this context, of health urgency and global crisis, a case study with future teachers was developed. The main goal of this research is to investigate their knowledge domain and positions to make decisions about COVID-19 vaccines. The task examined in this article is part of a broader design about socio-scientific issues for activism and involves the collaboration of two Spanish research groups interested in advancing this line of research.
