2 Nurses Arrested After Making $1.5m Worth Of Vaccine Cards
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat signed a law in December making it illegal to falsify vaccine records.
DeVuono was also charged with “offering a false instrument for filing,” a felony.
She used her practice, Wild Child Pediatric Healthcare, to get blank vaccine cards from the health department, the New York Daily News reported.
Police said the pair then charged $220 for adults and $85 for children to get the fake vaccine cards, and then they enter the fake information into the New York State Immunization Information System, claiming a vaccine was given.
“As nurses, these two individuals should understand the importance of legitimate vaccination cards as we all work together to protect public health,” Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney K. Harrison said in a statement Friday.
In a search of DeVuono’s residence, police found $900,000 in cash and records indicating that she had made over $1.5 million in the scheme since November, The Daily News reported.
Police found some of the money in helmet bags issued by the New York City Police Department, the paper said. Because of the scheme, DeVuono’s husband, NYPD Officer Derin DeVuono, is now being investigated by the department for any possible involvement in the fraud scheme, The Daily News reported, citing anonymous sources.
NYPD did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
DeVuono and Urraro, who were released without bail, are due to appear in Suffolk First District Court on February 8.
Records show DeVuono is represented by Attorney Barry Mark Smolowitz, who did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
Attorney Michael Joseph Alber, who is representing Urraro, told Insider on Friday that his client entered a not guilty plea, adding that the “courts are issuing rulings regarding the Government overstepping their limits.”
“It is so important that there is no rush to judgment in forming an opinion against a respected (licensed practical nurse),” Alber told Insider. “We look forward to highlighting the legal impediments and defects in this investigation.”
“An accusation should not overshadow the good work Ms. Urraro has done for children and adults in the medical field,” he added.

The Russian energy giant Gazprom says it has cut off all gas deliveries to both Bulgaria and Poland after both countries refused to start paying for the supplies in roubles.
Earlier, both Polish and Bulgarian energy providers said they had received official notices from the Russian gas supplier that deliveries were due to be cut.
Gazprom’s announcement comes after some confusion earlier this morning, when data showed gas supplies into Poland through Belarus temporarily reduced to zero before resuming.
Bulgaria’s gas network had also said the country was still receiving Russian gas as of this morning.
We are yet to see any data of gas volumes into Poland or Bulgaria since Gazprom’s announcement just now.

New Omicron Variant BA.2 Is Now The Leading Version Of COVID-19 And Considered “Highly Contagious”
BA.2, the new Omicron variant that led to a surge of new COVID-19 cases in Europe, has now overtaken the U.S. as the most dominant version of the virus throughout the country. This latest data estimate is from a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, whose director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, predicted that BA.2 would quickly become dominate in the U.S
The first case of the BA.2 was initially identified in the U.S. back in December. Meanwhile, scientists have been closely watching BA.2—which is now the third of the genetically distinct varieties of the Omicron variant of COVID-19.
The rapid growth of BA.2 is due partially to its eight gene mutations that spike protein on the virus’s surface, something that is not found in the previous strain, BA.1.
Although BA.2 is more transmissible than BA.1, as of now there are no signs that it causes more severe illness and it’s shown that vaccines continue to protect against the worst outcomes.
Many U.S. health officials said that they expect cases to rise and are firmly blaming U.S. residents for not doing enough to prevent another potential surge of COVID-19.
