While we wait for a timeline & more information, there’s no doubt scammers will be scheming. Here’s what you need to know to avoid a vaccine-related scam:

▪︎You likely will not need to pay anything out of pocket to get the vaccine during this public health emergency.

▪︎You can’t pay to put your name on a list to get the vaccine.

▪︎You can’t pay to get early access to the vaccine.

▪︎No one from a vaccine distribution site or health care payer, like a private insurance company, will call you asking for your Social Security number or your credit card or bank account information to sign you up to get the vaccine.

▪︎Beware of providers offering other products, treatments, or medicines to prevent the virus. Check with your health care provider before paying for or receiving any COVID-19-related treatment.

If you get a call, text, email — or even someone knocking on your door — claiming they can get you early access to the vaccine, STOP!
That's a scam! Don’t pay for a promise of vaccine access or share personal information. Instead, report it to the FTC at https://ReportFraud.ftc.gov
