Fake cards were being sold “for individuals to misrepresent themselves as vaccinated,” the state’s Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement.Bonta called for people to report alleged fake cards, and added that Californians should also not post pictures of cards on social media as personal information could be stolen to commit fraud.
All Californians have free access to the coronavirus vaccine, and receive a vaccination card at their first injection. US media have reported that people opposing vaccinations have posted tutorials on websites and chat forums showing how to produce fake cards.
