In New York City, several dozen sanitation workers have been suspended without pay amid an investigation into the legitimacy of the employees’ COVID-19 vaccination cards.

“[The Department of Investigations] is aware of allegations involving the issuance of bogus vaccination cards and declines further comment.”

Red flags were raised when the employees allegedly submitted vaccine cards that indicated they’d received a Johnson & Johnson shot at a CVS Pharmacy. The pharmacy hasn’t administered J&J vaccines in six months.

“These are very concerning allegations and we take them very seriously — getting vaccinated is important to public health, and we do not tolerate anyone faking something that is a requirement of city employment,” spokesman Joshua Goodman said.
