SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – Footage released by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office shows two women accused of posing as grannies to get a dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The clip has gone viral. On Wednesday morning, deputies responded to a report of two women who attempted to fraudulently get vaccinated at the Orange County Convention Center.
The incident has sparked questions about how the 34-year-old and 44-year-old women nearly pulled off the crafty scheme. News 6 reached out to all the health officials in Central Florida for reaction to the incident.
Alan Harris, with the Seminole County Emergency Management, said it is an unanticipated problem. “It’s a shame that these people dressed up, that is malicious in nature,” Harris said.
