Fake vaccine card arrests, experts say we need better ways to verify vaccine status

Back in March we warned you about those vaccine card selfies and how fraudsters were working to steal information in the hopes of making money by peddling counterfeit proof of vaccine cards.

News5 has a follow up and why experts say vaccine card fraud will remain a problem until better technology is widely used.

Across the country and here in Colorado more places are now asking for proof of vaccinations, but the experts say those vaccine cards are easy to fake and criminals are already working to flood the market with counterfeits, putting the system and our safety at risk.
