The dubious portal "specialja.com" today, March 24, published an article in the title of which it states that "vaccination against the Corona virus will begin in two weeks."
This headline, according to fact-checking by hibrid.info, turns out to be fabricated and does not match the content. The news is from last year and relates to the announcement of the vaccination of Americans on December 11, 2020.
This dubious portal is in Albanian and has the vast majority of followers from Kosova, and with this false title it could misinform readers, thinking that it is about the start of vaccination in our country.

Analyze:
The dubious portal "specialja.com" has used an old article that it published today, March 24, claiming to present it as current.
Even though the news is old and has to do with America, the title of this article does not clarify which country it is referring to, implying that the announcement is about Kosovo, since this dubious portal itself is in Albanian and most of its followers are Kosovars.
After fact-checking analysis, hibrid.info assesses this article as "misinformation" and "clickbait".
Reasoning:
A “Disinformation” rating is given to media reporting that contains a “mix” of inaccurate sources or even half-truthful content. This rating will also address reports that have incorrect attributions or headlines that do not reflect the text in terms of information accuracy.
"Clickbait" is defined as texts whose title has no basis in the content of the following text. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the reader or even the consumer with a sensational title by promising content that does not actually exist and are created mainly out of financial interest, that is, due to increased readability. So, this type of text is intended only to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
