“The indictment alleges McDonald defrauded and endangered the public by creating and distributing fake COVID-19 vaccination cards,” said Derrick Jackson, special agent in charge with the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General. “Engaging in such illegal activities undermines the ongoing pandemic response efforts.”
She faces up to 15 years for producing the fake vaccine cards and an additional five years for lying to federal prosecutors.
