Medical misinformation: Peanut vaccine
You may have seen recent viral social media posts claiming that a peanut allergy vaccine developed at McMaster University in Hamilton, ON can cure peanut allergy in 4 injections and is imminently available.
While we had determined that the source appeared to be AI/Bot generated, on behalf of the community, we reached out to McMaster to confirm that the posting was inaccurate. Please refer to their official statement at the link below.
