Although two nurses and another employee of an Amityville pediatric practice are being prosecuted for an alleged fake COVID-19 vaccination card scheme, it’s unclear if the thousands of people who bought the cards will be charged, and whether their names will be removed from state vaccination databases.
The owner and two employees of Wild Child Pediatric Healthcare were arrested Jan. 27 and Jan. 28 in connection with what authorities allege was the completion of vaccination cards of people who were never inoculated and the entering of that false information into the state immunization database.

Although three people were arrested in connection with an alleged fake-vaccination-card scheme in Amityville, it’s unclear if the thousands of people who bought the cards will be prosecuted.
The state Department of Health said that, in general, it tries to remove false vaccine data from its databases, but the department declined to say whether it can revoke Excelsior Passes.
