Police are investigating after a box of fake COVID-19 vaccination cards was reported outside the state Capitol Tuesday .
During a protest against legislation that would eliminate Connecticut’s religious exemption for mandatory school vaccinations, a box sat on the ground, with the top reading “Lost your card?” Inside sat blue cards that looked like the one individuals receive after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, according to multiple posts on social media.
The box was taken by officers, and an investigation is pending, Officer Scott Driscoll, a spokesman for the state Capitol Police, said.
“Vaccination record cards are intended to provide recipients of the COVID-19 vaccine with information about the type of vaccine they received, and when they may be able to receive a second dose of the vaccine.
