Redding Health Director Doug Hartline is warning residents to be aware of scams surrounding COVID-19 vaccines. He says it's likely that scammers will take advantage of the situation and try to extract personal information such as Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, and other financial information from vulnerable individuals. Hartline noted that vaccines are being administered free of charge. Municipalities, the state and other providers will not ask for a fee or payment information to secure an appointment to be vaccinated.
