Westchester Insider: Westchester County Legislator Mary Jane Shimsky 12th District: Fake COVID-19 Vaccination Cards Are Now Illegal in New York.

Fake COVID-19 Vaccination Cards Are Now Illegal in New York.

Gov. Kathy Hochul signed new legislation on December 23 making fake COVID-19 vaccination cards a misdemeanor crime. And it creates a new felony crime of computer tampering.

The new law also helps schools get better access to a statewide immunization database, among other directives.

This comes as more cities tighten rules requiring proof of vaccination in the face of the omicron surge.
