Tech giant Facebook has expanded its policies and its Covid-19 vaccination efforts to include kids shortly after the FDA authorised the emergency use of the Pfizer vaccine for children aged 5 to 11. In the coming weeks, it will send in-feed English and Spanish reminders to users in the US that the Covid-19 vaccine is now available for kids. Those reminders will also include a link that will help users find the nearest vaccination site, Engadget reported.A

Perhaps, more importantly, it will expand its anti-vaccine misinformation policies to remove claims that Covid-19 vaccines for kids do not exist and that the vaccine for children is untested. It will also remove any claim that Covid-19 vaccines can kill or seriously harm kids, that they are not effective for children at all, and that anything other than a Covid-19 vaccine can inoculate children against the virus.
