Dr. Raul Pino of the Florida Department of Health said both women walked into the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando wearing hats, gloves and glasses.

“We learned that a couple of young women dressed up as grandmothers to get their second vaccination,” Pino said. “I don’t even know how they managed it the first time.”

Although the couple provided authentic vaccination cards, the medical professionals who were about to vaccinate them noted that the ladies "looked funny."

The staff of the center called the deputies, and the women were issued warnings of wrongdoing.

Officers said the "old ladies" used their real names on vaccination cards but provided false dates of birth.

To be eligible for the vaccine in Florida, people must be 65 years of age or older, have a health problem, or be a healthcare professional, staff member, or living in a nursing home.

According to the officers, in fact, the women were 34 and 44 years old.

Pino said that as more people try to get vaccinated at the Orange County Convention Center, the center's security has been increased.

“There were several violators. They are all different and have a creative approach to deception,” he emphasized.

Questions about whether these women, dressed as senior citizens, actually received their first COVID-19 vaccination and how they did so remain valid, Pino said.

“So we need to find out: did we actually vaccinate them, when was it, what happened, on what day, at what time. It is necessary to find out whether there are any holes or loopholes in the vaccination process that allow people to do this,” he said.

Florida was one of the first states to vaccinate its residents, resulting in an influx of visitors from other states.

Tourists flocked to Florida in January until the state enacted a public health recommendation requiring people to show proof of residence before being vaccinated.

A couple of New York real estate tycoons, a dozen Argentine corporate executives, and a popular Mexican TV presenter were vaccinated in the state before the rules changed.

On Thursday, February 18, the Florida Department of Emergency Management said the delivery of the Moderna vaccine from the federal government had been delayed due to severe weather in the United States.
