Midwife Fined $300K for Falsifying Vaccine Records for 1,500 Children

The New York State Department of Health has accused a Baldwin midwife of falsifying vaccination records for nearly 1,500 children by providing them with oral pellets as an alternative to vaccinations. The midwife, Jeannette Breen, has been issued a $300,000 penalty, and the children's immunization records have been voided. The NYSDOH emphasizes the seriousness of the issue and states that the children must show they are up-to-date with required vaccines before returning to school.

Investigation Launched into Wild Child Vaccination Records Beyond COVID

The New York State Department of Health is investigating whether Wild Child Pediatric Healthcare, an Amityville pediatric practice whose owner was convicted of falsifying COVID-19 vaccination records, also faked certificates of immunization against diseases like measles. The investigation comes after the Nassau and Suffolk health departments advised school districts to require children with vaccination records from Wild Child to obtain proof of vaccination from a different healthcare provider. While the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office found no evidence of fake non-COVID immunization cards, some school districts are facing legal challenges for requiring additional proof of vaccination. The investigation is ongoing, and the owner of Wild Child is scheduled for sentencing in January.

"End of the COVID-19 Vaccination Card Era: CDC Ceases Distribution"

The CDC has announced that it will no longer print or issue COVID-19 vaccination cards, stating that it does not maintain vaccination records. Instead, individuals can obtain a digital or paper copy of their full vaccination record, including COVID-19 vaccinations, from their state health department's immunization information system. The decision comes as COVID vaccines are now being distributed through the commercial market, and the federal government has shipped over 980 million vaccination cards since late 2020. It is important to note that creating or using fake vaccination cards is illegal under federal law.
