  • Abstract
    We present preliminary data and information collected from microblogs during the 2014 seasonal flu vaccination in Brasil. A quantitative analysis of tweets compiled over 50 days is reported. A categorization analysis of these tweets in three major axis: content, qualifier and links, is described and preliminary results are revealed. A comparison with the data collected during the H1N1 outbreak in USA is also disclosed.
