Alberta’s top doc sends warning to Albertans falsifying vaccine records

Even with hospitals battling outbreaks and the unvaccinated, Alberta’s chief medical officer of health had to warn Albertans Friday that falsifying their vaccine records is a criminal offense.

CALGARY — Dr. Deena Hinshaw is sending out a warning to Albertans who are trying to falsify their vaccine records.

The province’s top doctor says that doing so is against the best interest of Albertans’ health, and is a criminal offence under the Criminal Code.

She adds that it may also classify as an offence under the Health Information Act.

The province came under fire after the announcement of its Restrictions Exemption Program, as many people were able to edit the document to make it look like they had been fully vaccinated when they had not.

At this point, it isn’t clear if the province will adjust the vaccine card, or if a stern warning and a threat of punishment is the extent of the province’s plans when it comes to those who break the rules.
