  • An image shared on Facebook allegedly shows a CVS Pharmacy poster advertising COVID-19 vaccines that reads, Get a FREE ‘it’s just the flu’ shot today. Verdict: False The poster is actually artwork from a graphic artist. It was neither created nor posted by CVS, according to a spokesperson for the company. Fact Check: The image shows a screen grab of a tweet from Twitter user @gliadkovskaya that includes a picture of a supposed CVS Pharmacy poster in which there is a cartoon of a man wearing a sleeveless shirt and a red-and-white hat with an upside-down American flag. The tweet reads , @cvspharmacy out here ramping up its culturally-targeted interventions for vaccine hesitancy lmao. The image, however, does not show a genuine CVS Pharmacy poster. A reverse image search revealed a few pictures of the same poster can be found on the website of graphic artist Winston Tseng under the collection Vaccine Hesitancy (2021) . Tseng has also created other posters that seemingly allude to various issues in politics and the news and that incorporate company logos such as GoFundMe , Target and Bank of America . The About page on Tseng’s website makes clear that all of his creations are works of art. Erin Britt, a spokesperson for CVS, confirmed in an email to Check Your Fact, This is not a real CVS poster and no such signage is in place at our stores. (RELATED: Was Walmart Sold To A Group Of Chinese Investors?) Twitter user @gliadkovskaya, whose tweet appears in the Facebook post, said in a follow-up tweet that she had asked two CVS employees about the poster, who neither seemed aware or certain and referred her to CVS’ corporate office. In another tweet , she added that, per CVS, the poster does not belong to the company. (en)
