The decision is consistent with the social media platform's overall policy of removing what it considers misinformation about the virus, including posts about unfounded cures.

But until now, as government approval and distribution of a vaccine nears, Facebook had yet to take a clear stance on vaccines, except for banning ads that promote anti-vaccination conspiracy theories, according to CNBC.

The company said it will start removing "false claims about these vaccines that have been debunked by public health experts."
