Emerging story
Pictures circulating online alleged that Boris Johnson received three doses of the COVID-19 vaccines.
Misbar’s Analysis
Two of the pictures do show the Prime Minister receiving the COVID-19 vaccine in March and June.
Yet, the third picture in the circulating posts shows him receiving a different vaccine, the annual flu jab, in October 2019. The picture shown below was in October 2019, before the vaccine rollout began in December. Unlike in the other two pictures, Mr. Johnson is not wearing a face mask.
The COVID-19 vaccines currently available are given in two doses only.
