Don’t post a picture of your vaccination card on social media, officials warn

If you have been vaccinated against coronavirus, you have many reasons to celebrate – don’t do it by posting a photo of your vaccination card to social media, the Federal Trade Commission said Friday. In a blog post, the FTC points out that your vaccination The card contains personal information, like your name and date of birth, which bad actors can use to piece together a profile of you that could help them steal your identity.

Instead, the FTC recommends that you follow a similar but much safer trend: vaccine selfies. The agency suggests that you publish a photo of your bandage or the sticker you get stating that you received the vaccine.
