Misleading Facebook posts claim Covid-19 vaccine increases risk of catching the novel coronavirus
(AFP) - Multiple Facebook posts share a claim that people become more prone to Covid-19 infection after they receive their first of two vaccine doses. The claim is misleading: while people who have received the Covid-19 jab can still contract the virus, getting the vaccine itself does not increase the risk of Covid-19 infection.
The claim was posted on March 25, 2021 in a Facebook group with more than 35,000 members.
“For those who have received the first dose of Covid-19 vaccine, please don’t do too much physically or mentally draining activities.. Do rest and don’t go outside,” the Indonesian-language text partly reads.
