Officials in Orange County are warning the public about scams related to the newly arrived COVID-19 vaccines.

The first shots were given to health care workers at local hospitals on Dec. 16, shortly after the first shipment of Pfizer vaccines arrived in the county. Officials have said health care workers and long-term care residents will receive the initial inoculations, with the program expanding as more vaccines become available.
