U.S. agents have seized more than 3,000 fake vaccination cards shipped from China to Memphis

More than 3,000 counterfeit coronavirus vaccine immunization cards from China have been seized by federal agents in Memphis, Tennessee, as they were on their way to other cities around the country.

Customs and Border Protection intercepted a shipment from Shenzen, China, heading to New Orleans. "It was the 15th such shipment of the night," reads a statement from the agency.
 
Several months ago, the FBI made it clear that buying, selling, or using a fake Covid-19 vaccination card is a crime that is punishable by a fine and up to five years in prison. 

New York City announced that it will mandate vaccine passports to enter most businesses beginning in September, and more and more colleges and universities are mandating full vaccination for students hoping to return to classes in-person. As these mandates set in, a higher number of fraudulent documents have gone into circulation.
