HR Should Be On Alert For Fake Vaccination Cards

LANSING – With air travel opening and requirements for vaccines required, the fake vaccine card market is taking off. There are a number of cases reported in the news.

For example, a spelling-challenged Illinois woman who doesn’t know her Moderna from ‘Maderna’ was arrested after using a fake COVID-19 vaccination card to go on vacation in Hawaii. In another case, a New Jersey woman calling herself the “AntiVaxMomma” on Instagram sold several hundred fake COVID-19 vaccination cards at $200 each, including to people working in hospitals and nursing homes. She was arrested. Customs and Border Control consistently find false cards being shipped into the country, in one case, from Shenzhen China to Memphis.

As HR is likely to be the primary compliance for vaccine information, they now have a headache trying to determine what is and what isn’t a valid vaccination card. It will be similar to determining valid driver’s licenses and social security cards for I-9 verification. HR are not fraud experts.
