The claim: The Make-A-Wish Foundation will only grant wishes to children who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19
During the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of wishes granted to critically ill children by the nonprofit Make-A-Wish Foundation were delayed or altered due to stay-at-home orders and travel restrictions. However, as vaccines become more available and case counts decline, the organization has updated its policy on granting travel wishes.
Several widely shared social media posts and articles have misrepresented that change.
“Make A Wish Foundation Will Only Grant Wishes To Fully Vaccinated Children,” reads a June 26 Instagram post with more than 5,700 likes. Similar versions of the claim have made their way to Facebook, Twitter and Reddit.
