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.

(12,332 posts)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.

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

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!
