Woman arrested with fake 'Maderna' vaccine card at Honolulu airport, officials say

A woman who submitted a fake COVID-19 vaccination card at the Honolulu airport to get out of the state's 10-day quarantine mandate was arrested and charged on suspicion of falsified vaccination documents, KHON reported.

A Safe Travels Program administrator flagged a potentially fraudulent vaccine card on Aug. 23 after Chloe Mrozak, an Illinois resident, presented the card to the airport screener, according to the local news outlet. Mrozak mispelled "Moderna" as "Maderna" on the fake card.

Special Agent William Lau of the Department of the Attorney General told KHON the misspelling was "one indication, as well as other things" that administrators at the Honolulu airport thought were suspicious "and as part of being suspicious they did an excellent job of notifying us."

Mrozak reported that she received her vaccine in Delaware, but when the special agent in charge of the investigation into Mrozak contacted Delaware officials to confirm her vaccination status, no record was found, according to KHON.

N.J. --- I got my two vacs completed in January. I got the card.

There is now a state registry. My record is not on it. There are instructions on how to get your data entered. Two weeks ago, I mailed the required data to the N.J. office. Still no record of my vacs in the system.

This woman and others like her need to be made an example of, she put the lives of many others at risk. I'd like to see a judge hand down a 10 year sentence to someone like her and let that make headlines.

Incredibly, they both have the same penmanship....and it's pretty primitive.

Trying to pass off official U.S. documents filled out in Republicanese is something altogether different.

Creating false computer records in a state or federal database is a very serious crime.

I bet the arrest threw a monkey wrench into her vacation. Instead of the Royal Hawaiian, she stayed in the Graybar.

Well, that's no fun fun fun.

I find it amusing her fraud probably took longer and was more expensive than... JUST GETTING THE DAMN VACCINE!

Cripes... *spits*

Now that I've seen it spelled wrong, I'll probably have to look it up every time.

Damn dyslexia.

From Mr. Webster: Definition of sarcasm 1 : a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain 2 a : a mode of satirical wit depending for its effect on bitter, caustic, and often ironic language that is usually directed against an individual b : the use or language of sarcasm


The intended victim was the forger. It was a poke of her lack of sophistication in the forgery.

And, yes, so you can be sure, there is a hint of sarcasm here too!
