Season's greetings fake vax card
US Customs and Border Protection officers were conducting routine international parcel inspections for dangerous, illegal or prohibited products when they found an obviously counterfeit Covid-19 vaccination card.
CBP officers immediately noted the vaccination card’s poor print quality, unclear logos of the centres for disease control and prevention (CDC) and US health and human services (HHS), and uneven borders. While fake vaccination cards are selling for as much as USD 200, the CDC reminds people that an actual vaccination is free of charge.
Officers discovered the card shipped from Bulgaria was concealed inside a greeting card which had been put into a shipping envelope. Since the pandemic start, CBP officers across the country have seized more than 30,000 fake vaccination cards. (cj)
