Former Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has denied she is anti vaccinations after making a comment on a friend’s post.
The actress, who played Michelle Connor on the ITV soap for 13 years, recently left a comment on a friend’s anti vaccination post, which led to the assumption that Kym is also an anti-vaxxer.

However, she clarified her comment in a post on Twitter and denied being against vaccinations.
She wrote: “Wow ok for some strange reason I have been targeting as saying I am anti the HPV vaccine, For clarity, I have never agreed with anyone for being so.
“My daughter had the HPV vaccine in school and so will Polly. So why would I be anti it? I believe there has been crossed wires.”

Under the tweet, Kym replied to her followers who asked questions about her post.
In one tweeted, she said: “No I commented on a post that a friend made but I didn’t say I agreed. I didn’t agree with no HPV vaccine.”

In a separate post, Kym was asked if she believed vaccines kill people and if she was against lockdown and social distancing. But once again, Kym completely denied being against vaccines.
She said: “Absolutely not, I didn’t agree with that at all as I’ve said my daughter had the vaccine so I clearly wasn’t agreeing. I just felt a bit bad for a friend really.”
