DAVIS COUNTY, Utah, Dec. 17, 2020 (Gephardt Daily) — Davis County Health Department is warning residents of COVID-19 vaccine scams.

“SCAM ALERT: Scammers are looking to make a ‘quick buck’ at your expense off the COVID-19 vaccine,” said a tweet from Davis County Health Department.

“Here is some great information on how to avoid becoming a victim of a COVID-19 vaccine scam.”

The department offered these three tips to avoid vaccine scams:

  • You can’t pay to put your name on a list to get the vaccine.
  • You can’t pay to get early access to the vaccine.
  • Nobody legitimate will call you about the vaccine and ask for your Social Security number, bank account details, or credit or debit card number.
