Covid: Misleading vaccine claims target children and parents

Covid: Misleading vaccine claims target children and parents Campaigners have been gathering outside schools, handing out what they claim are legal documents or "notices of liability" to head teachers, warning them not to vaccinate children.

Before the government's decision to extend the UK Covid vaccination programme to 12- to 15-year-olds was announced, debate simmered over whether the jab should be offered to healthy children, who are at a much lower risk from the virus than older age groups.

But alongside genuine discussion, campaigners opposed to the vaccine have been spreading misinformation. BBC News
