A leaflet carrying misinformation about coronavirus vaccines has been distributed in Salford.
The anti-vaxx leaflet was pushed through the door of a couple who live on Leicester Road in Broughton, Salford.
It falsely claims that the vaccine is dangerous, ineffective and has killed hundreds of people
The bizarre pamphlet urges people to take 'Zink, Vitamin D and lots of Vitamin C' - instead of the vaccine.
The couple's niece, who has asked not to be named, said she was shocked by the content of the leaflet.
She said: "My uncle and auntie are in their 70s and have both received the coronavirus vaccine.
"Fortunately they understand that there isn't any truth in what's said on the leaflet, but I worry that other people might believe it.
"As a teaching assistant I have had a lot of anxiety about the virus and it really worries me that leaflets like this are being pushed through people's doors."
Scientists and experts stress that vaccines are the most effective way to prevent infectious diseases.
There are currently three approved coronavirus vaccines approved for use in the UK - the Pfizer/BioNTech jab, the Oxford/AstraZeneca and Moderna vaccines.
All have met strict standards for safety, quality and effectiveness set out by the independent Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.
Any coronavirus vaccine that is approved must go through large-scale clinical trials and safety checks, as all licensed medicines do.
So far, millions of people have been given a Covid-19 vaccine and reports of serious side-effects, such as allergic reactions, have been very rate. No longer-term complications have been reported.
Most vaccines work by triggering an immune response from a weakened or inactive germ that causes the disease.
A lot of misinformation and myths have been published online, but despite this, vaccine take up has been high at around 90 per cent.
The leaflet lists several non-UK 'helplines' for people to call, as well as a details of a health 'professional' called Jacob Vishnevsky.
The Manchester Evening News has contacted the number on the leaflet for a response.
