The U.S. Centers for Disease Control has issued a warning about fraudulent e-mails referencing a "State Vaccination Program" sponsored by the CDC. According to the CDC, the message urges recipients to create a personal H1N1 (swine flu) Vaccination Profile on the cdc.gov website. The message then states that anyone who has reached the age of 18 has to have his/her personal Vaccination Profile on the cdc.gov site.
The CDC says that it has NOT implemented a state vaccination program requiring registration on www.cdc.gov.
Users who click on the “Create Personal Profile” link in the email are at risk of having malicious code installed on their system.
For legitimate information about H1N1 vaccination, please contact the CDC directly or speak with your health care provider.
