Resist the urge to share a picture of your vaccine card – fox4kc.com

Sharing a picture of your COVID-19 vaccine card on social media is the new popular thing to do. It shows everyone that youve had at least one dose of the vaccine.

But you may want to think twice before uploading, and sharing, your proof.

The Better Business Bureau warned against the idea last week. It says that there is self-identifying information on the card. If you arent careful, it could make it easier for people to steal your identity, or help scammers create fake versions of the vaccine card.

Keep in mind that your vaccination card includes personal information such as your full name, birthday and the location where you received your vaccine. Thats a lot of the info needed to open fraudulent account somewhere.

The Better Business Bureau also reports that scammers in Great Britain have been caught selling fake vaccination cards on eBay and TikTok. The BBB says its only a matter of time before scammers try to start cashing in here in the U.S.

The BBB offers several ideas to safely show others that youve had a vaccine.
