Vaccine conspiracies debunked in South Asian languages- February 2021 update
Surveys suggest that the South Asian community has one of the highest levels of vaccine hesitancy in the UK. It is believed that fake news and false information could be causing some people to reject the Covid vaccine. Some of these myths include claims the vaccine contains animal products and is not halal, that it causes infertility; there are also false claims spreading around that hospitals are empty, when in fact many are overwhelmed.
BBC Asian Network debunks these rumours in five South Asian languages: Urdu, Tamil, Gujarati, Sylheti and Punjabi.
