Claims are circulating across social media that Australia’s Health Minister has developed cellulitis as a result of getting the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. Three days after the health minister was inoculated, he was sent to the hospital for a skin infection on his leg. To support their claim, social media users have included a screenshot of a Yellow Card report for the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, with cellulitis highlighted. The Yellow Card system is the UK’s self-report system (similar to VAERS in the United States) that allows anyone to enter any event following immunization. Claims do not have to be verified to be reported. Australian health authorities report no link between the skin condition and the vaccination.
