Do not share your<br />

COVID-19 vaccine<br />

card on social media<br />

Once British Columbians receive their<br />

COVID-19 vaccines, they can ask for a physical<br />

copy of their official record to keep with<br />

them. While the full vaccination record will<br />

be stored into an online provincial database,<br />

this vaccine card will have details including<br />

“In the excitement to share the good news<br />

about being vaccinated and encourage others<br />

to do the same, we must still keep in mind<br />

that not everyone on social media is trustworthy”,<br />

said Karla Laird, Manager for Community<br />

and Public Relations at BBB. “If your<br />

social media privacy settings are not set high,<br />

you may be giving valuable information away<br />

for anyone to use. Scammers and fraudsters<br />

Posting<br />

photos of<br />

your card<br />

can help<br />

provide<br />

scammers<br />

with information<br />

they<br />

can use to<br />

create and<br />

sell counterfeit versions. Recently in Great<br />

Britain, scammers were caught selling fake<br />

vaccination cards on eBay and TikTok and<br />

falsely claimed that part of the proceeds was<br />

in support of local charities. While BBB has<br />

not yet received any local reports, it is only<br />

a matter of time before similar cons come to<br />

Canada.<br />

BBB offers the following tips to help you<br />

share safely on social media:<br />

Share a vaccine sticker or use a profile<br />

frame instead. If you want to post about your<br />

vaccine, there are safer ways to do it. You can<br />

share a photo of a vaccine sticker or set a<br />

frame around your profile picture.<br />

Review your security settings. Check your<br />

security settings on all social media platforms<br />

to see what you are sharing and with whom. If<br />

you only want friends and family to see your<br />

posts, be sure that is how your privacy settings<br />

are configured.<br />

Be wary of answering popular social media<br />

prompts. Sharing your vaccine photo is just<br />

the latest social trend. Think twice before participating<br />

in other viral personal posts, such<br />

as listing all the cars you have owned (including<br />

make/model/year), favourite songs, and<br />

top 10 TV shows. Some of these “favourite<br />

things” are commonly used passwords or<br />

security questions for your most valuable<br />

online accounts.<br />
