Fake vaccination pips have been in circulation nationwide for some time. Even in the area of responsibility of the Freiburg Police Headquarters, more and more cases are being registered and reported.
In November alone, the police counted 130 cases in the area of responsibility of the Freiburg Presidium and recognized a rising trend, as stated in a report from the police. More than 50 cases were registered in the Lrrach district, and around 20 cases each were reported for the city of Freiburg and the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district.
According to the police, the fake vaccination pips are usually noticed when an attempt is made to obtain the so-called digital vaccination certificate (QR code) in any pharmacy. The employees of the pharmacies are also very well informed about the topic. More and more falsified vaccination pods are noticed due to irregularities.
Obtaining a digital vaccination certificate by means of a forged vaccination card basically constitutes a forgery of documents and is punishable by fines or imprisonment of up to five years. The use of a counterfeit vaccination card and the issuing of counterfeit vaccination cards are also criminal offenses and should be reported in any case.
