I’d like to take this time to ask you to beware of scams that will popping up targeting people in regards to the COVID-19 vaccine. Here are some tips to help you:

•You likely will not need to pay anything out of pocket to get the vaccine during this public health emergency.

•You cannot pay to put your name on a list to get the vaccine.

•You cannot pay to get early access to the vaccine.

•No one from Medicare or the health department will contact you.

•No one from a vaccine distribution site or health care payer, like a private insurance company, will call you asking for your Social Security number or your credit card or bank account information to sign you up to get the vaccine.

•Beware of providers offering other products, treatments, or medicines to prevent the virus. Check with your health care provider before paying for or receiving any COVID-19-related treatment.

•If you get a call, text, email — or even someone knocking on your door — claiming they can get you early access to the vaccine, stop. That’s a scam.

If you believe you have been the victim of a COVID-19 vaccine scam or any other scam, contact our office at 406-653-6221 and we can get you the contact information needed to report it.
