As outrageous as it is, there are reports of scams involving phony appointments for the COVID vaccine. People have received emails, phone calls or text messages supposedly from local health departments offering to put them on a vaccine registration list that doesn’t really exist and then charging them for appointments.
We urge you to be cautious. You should not be charged just for being put on a list. If you receive a contact like this you should call your doctor’s office or your local health department to try and verify that such a list exists.
