Watch for bogus online COVID-19 vaccines

Health Canada is warning you not to buy COVID-19 vaccines sold on the internet or from unauthorized sources since they are fake.

In a Wednesday safety notice, The government agency warns “counterfeit COVID-19 vaccines may pose serious health risks, and are ineffective at protecting an individual from the coronavirus.”

The alert follows the release of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine this week in Canada and the securing of a vaccine from Moderna.

The problem is not unique to our country, the Health Canada posting adds “The International Criminal Police Organization, INTERPOL, has issued a global alert to law enforcement across its 194 member countries warning them of this issue.”
