Get the facts on vaccines

We all deserve information we can trust, especially when it comes to taking decisions about our health

False claims, conspiracy theories and unreliable health advice are spreading fast as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Bad information like this puts lives at risk - and now risk prolonging the crisis.

Full Fact is a team of independent fact checkers and campaigners. We fact check claims made by politicians, institutions and journalists, as well as viral content online.

We’re supporting work by the NHS and Department of Health and Social Care to make sure as many people as possible get good, reliable information about vaccines.

Why should I trust Full Fact?

We don’t ask you to take our word for it. We share the sources behind all our fact checks so you can make up your own mind.

Full Fact is a registered charity. We’re transparent about our funding, and it’s thanks to the support of thousands of people and organisations that our work remains independent.
