A large trade in fake Covid vaccination certificates has been identified in France, often with health professionals as accomplices.
According to the government, there are at least 200,000 fake Covid vaccination certificates in circulation, a figure they consider to be a substantial under-estimate.
The issue obtained public prominence last month when a mother in her 50s died in a hospital in Paris from Covid. The doctors could find no trace of antibodies, even though when she was admitted she presented a health certificate (pass sanitaire) attesting to a complete vaccination schedule.
