Two More Charged With Getting Fake Vaccine Records

Two more people were on Tuesday charged by the ICAC for obtaining fake Covid vaccine records. 

A construction worker, 67, and a foreign domestic helper, 37, came from the same household in which two other family members were also earlier charged with conspiracy to defraud the Department of Health. 

They were alleged to have received vaccination records from another defendant – a nurse who worked at a vaccination centre in Kowloon Bay – on February 20 without getting inoculated.

The nurse, 34, was also accused of issuing vaccination records to two other people – a friend of hers and her friend’s sister ­– without jabbing them.

The anti-graft body said in a statement that the sisters were believed to have told the nurse “their worries about the side effects of vaccination and the restricted access to a number of venues following the implementation of the vaccine pass arrangement”.

Rules from the community vaccination centre bar staff from inoculating their family members or friends to avoid a possible conflict of interest.

The seven people will appear in Kwun Tong court on Wednesday for plea.
