U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials in Cincinnati have seized a total of 1,683 fake COVID-19 vaccination cards from China.

The U.S. border authority made the announcement in a press release published on Sept. 16. It said the counterfeit cards had misspellings and were of “substandard printing” quality, even though the cards displayed a “logo” from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
