The claim comes from a blog post shared more than 96,000 times on Facebook urging people born before 1989 to go another measles shot because their old vaccination against the disease no longer works. The headline is misleading -- although the measles vaccine is slightly less than 100% effective, at present there is no active call to revaccinate people born before 1989.

A picture of an old woman holding an infant in a hospital bed has gone viral several times since it was first published online, most recently with the claim that it shows a baby in the arms of its 103-year-old mother. This is false -- the woman is the baby’s great-grandmother -- and follows on the heels of a similar hoax report that AFP debunked last year.
