Beware of Vaccine Scams

Three Ways to Avoid COVID-19 Vaccine Scams

While vaccination details are getting worked out, here’s what you can be sure of:

  1. You can’t pay to put your name on a list to get the vaccine. That’s a scam.
  2. You can’t pay to get early access to the vaccine. That’s a scam.
  3. Nobody legit will call about the vaccine and ask for your Social Security, bank account, or credit card number. That’s a scam.

Ignore any vaccine offers that say different, or ask for personal or financial information!
