A British Columbia registered nurse has been suspended for six months by the province’s College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) for creating fraudulent COVID-19 vaccination cards, according to a notice released by the college. The college says the nurse created four fake vaccination records in 2021.

Sarah Jones from Castlegar, B.C., was investigated by a panel of the BCCNM’s Inquiry Committee after an unknown number of anonymous complaints were levied against her for allegedly forging vaccine passports. The college said Jones presented “varied versions” of events to her employer, witnesses, and the college related to the alleged misconduct.
