MEDICARE NEWS: Watch out for COVID-19 vaccine scams!

COVID-19

VACCINE SCAMS

As the country begins to distribute COVID-19 vaccines, there's no doubt scammers are already scheming.

Medicare covers the COVID-19 vaccine, so there will be no cost to you. If anyone asks you to share your Medicare Number or pay for access to the vaccine, you can bet it's a scam.

Here's what to know:

You can't pay to put your name on a list to get the vaccine.
You can't pay to get early access to a vaccine.
Don't share your personal or financial information if someone calls, texts, or emails you promising access to the vaccine for a fee.
