Vaccination continues to be a priority of federal and state health authorities and local and some companies are considering requesting the vaccination card to enter their establishments. In fact, the California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board (OSHSB) is considering putting end to the mandatory use of masks and social distance in jobs in which all people are vaccinated. Hence the need to have a vaccination card.
Bonta highlighted that, in addition to putting the health of the community at risk, the falsification of vaccination records is also a crime .
Federal authorities have stated that unauthorized use of the seal by an official government agency (such as the federal Department of Health and Human Services or the CDC ) is a federal crime that can be prosecuted.
The attorney stressed that falsifying or possessing falsified documents, such as a COVID vaccination registration card – 19 false, it is also a crime in California.
