Federal officials are reminding people that making fake coronavirus vaccine cards is a crime.

Department of Homeland Security Agents and the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol intercepted the phony vaccine cards being shipped into the United States.

The cards were bound for Idaho, though Homeland Security did not specify where in the Gem State the counterfeit cards were headed.

Last week, an Illinois woman was arrested in Hawaii after she tried to use a fake vaccine card to bypass the state’s strict quarantine measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
