Avoid Vaccine Scams

As COVID-19 vaccine distribution begins, here are signs of potential scams:

• You are asked to pay out of pocket to get the vaccine.
• You are asked to pay to put your name on a vaccine waiting list or to get early access.
• Advertisements for vaccines through social media platforms, email, telephone calls, online, or from unsolicited/unknown sources.
• Marketers offering to sell or ship doses of the vaccine for payment.

� Protect Yourself. Do not give out your personal information to unknown sources.
