(WWJ) You may have seen your friends and family do this already. They proudly post their COVID-19 vaccination card on Facebook to celebrate their major milestone in fighting the pandemic or to encourage others to follow in their footsteps.
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) says t’s a big mistake!
The COVID-19 vaccination card has your full name and birthday on it, in addition to where you got the jab. If the post is set to public, anyone can take that information and do with it what they will.
BBB said, if you want to share your vaccine news with social media friends and family, consider these alternatives and precautions:
-Share the sticker or pin given to you after your vaccine or set a frame around your profile picture that indicates you have been vaccinated
-Review your security settings on your social media platforms to ensure you know who can see your posts.
-Be careful in participating in viral posts, often asking for cars you’ve owned, favorite songs or TV Shows—as these are often used as security question answers when you’ve forgotten your password.
