As the excitement of the vaccine rollout grows, the Better Business Bureau has a warning about sharing a photo of your vaccination card. Baton Rouge Better Business Bureau President, Carmen Million said people like to share about their lives on social media, but sometimes they share too much.
“A card basically has your personal information on it, and you don’t want to provide that to potential scammers that are looking for easy ways to get consumer information,” said Million.
Million said it’s fine to share that you got your shot and suggests sharing a photo of your sticker that you were vaccinated just not your actual card that contains personal information.
“So, there are ways to do it, you can even put a frame around your picture I know that there are a lot of those options, but just be cautious about what you actually post,” said Million.
Another danger in posting your vaccination card on social media, there have been reports of scam artists making copies of the card in Great Britain. Million said you don’t want your information compromised.
“In fact, in this case, they’re actually selling fake vaccination cards, and so you really need to be cautious, if it’s happening in another country it’s more than likely going to happen here,” said Million.
