‘Ripe for fraud’: Coronavirus vaccination cards support burgeoning scams


The listings are a “perfect example” of burgeoning scams involving coronavirus vaccination cards that could undermine people’s safety, as well as the success of the nation’s largest mass vaccination effort, said North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein. But vaccine cards, or yellow cards, have been used for decades. Schweitzer, who has volunteered at multiple vaccination clinics across Arizona, compared the abundance of blank vaccination cards at those sites to doctors not protecting their prescription pads. The Post obtained one of those cards, which was identical to the CDC vaccination cards dispensed by pharmacies, and sent from a Zip code in the greater Chicago area. Pharmacies insist they have protections in place to track the blank cards they receive and would know if any cards were wrongly removed.
