From August 2021 to October 2021, Zaya Powell, 25, of Waterbury, Conn. created false records in Griffin Health’s EHR system stating that 14 individuals received single doses of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine at a Griffin Health location, according to an Aug. 12 news release.
According to the Justice Department none of the 14 people had received a vaccine from Griffin Health or any other healthcare provider.
Ms. Powell also gave the 14 people fraudulent COVID-19 vaccine cards with the numbers of genuine vaccines administered to other Griffin Hospital patients.
Ms. Powell was released on $25,000 bond. Her sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 4.
