BOSTON (CBS) – The Better Business Bureau is warning people not to share photos of their COVID-19 vaccine card on social media, despite how excited they are. After receiving the first dose of COVID vaccine, you will receive a personal information card.
‘Unfortunately, you have your full name and birthday on your card, as well as information on where you got your vaccine. “If your privacy settings on social media are not high, you may be giving away valuable information for anyone to use,” BBB said.
Scammers can use the information to make and sell rogue cards online, which has already happened in the UK.
If you would like to be notified that you have been vaccinated, the BBB recommends posting a photo of your vaccine sticker instead.
