The health pass is a source of traffic whose scale does not seem to have any limit.

After doctors and pharmacists who issue certificates without vaccinating, some usurp the identity of health professionals and hijack social security software.

On August 14 in Versailles, a secretary of the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines vaccination center discovers that 111 people have benefited from false certificates and therefore benefit from a real-false QR code allowing them to live as if they had a valid health pass.

The facts were immediately reported to the Versailles police station, which opened an investigation.

This hundred people would have been vaccinated by a doctor installed in Versailles who practices at the vaccination center of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines.

But the 46-year-old was on vacation during this period from July 24 to August 14.

In addition, all these fraudulent patients would have received their injections in the centers of Chesnay and Versailles where the doctor does not practice and which, in addition, were closed on August 14.

The regional health agency has opened an internal investigation

The track of an internal complicity in this affair of forgery and use of forgery seems obvious because to validate these files, it is necessary to have access to the health insurance software and a password. The regional health agency has opened an internal investigation to try to identify this person. "The investigators will also summon the people who have benefited from this fraud to find out if they have paid to reach their end," adds a source close to the case.

These frauds are nevertheless experiencing a fairly marked increase. Of the forty-six cases reported in France, there is only one in May, eight in June, seventeen in July and up to twenty in the period from August 2 to 6 alone. There are also twelve reports were made to the prosecutor, sixteen criminal complaints and two reports to professional orders. Security recalls that the QR Code is unique for everyone. For the fraudster who, having changed his mind, would subsequently like to receive a real injection, it will be impossible to obtain a second sesame.
