Jeanette Breen, a midwife from Baldwin, has been fined $300,000 by the state Department of Health for falsifying vaccination records for nearly 1,500 children, primarily from Long Island, by administering homeopathic oral pellets marketed as an alternative to vaccination and falsely claiming the children were immunized. The children's immunization records have been voided, and they must show proof of vaccination before returning to school. This is the second recent case of a Long Island health care practitioner falsifying vaccine records. Breen has agreed to pay $150,000 immediately and could face another $150,000 fine if she attempts to misrepresent an immunization again.
A Long Island midwife, Jeannette Breen, has been accused of falsifying vaccination records for over 1,500 New York state schoolchildren, leading to a $300,000 penalty and a permanent ban from administering reportable vaccines. The fabrications included records for polio, chickenpox, measles, mumps, and rubella, but not COVID-19 vaccinations. Breen allegedly provided oral "pellets" as vaccination alternatives and lacked necessary approvals. The affected students must prove vaccination or begin the process before returning to school. The state health department is investigating, and Breen has paid half of the penalty.
