As the country begins to distribute COVID-19 vaccines, there's no doubt scammers are already scheming.

Here's what to know:

Medicare covers the COVID-19 vaccine, so there will be no cost to you. If anyone asks you to share your Medicare Number or pay for access to the vaccine, you can bet it's a scam.

You can't pay to put your name on a list to get the vaccine.
You can't pay to get early access to a vaccine.
Don't share your personal or financial information if someone calls, texts, or emails you promising access to the vaccine for a fee.
You will need 2 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine for it to be effective. When you receive your first dose, make sure to schedule your second dose.
State governments are handling the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines. Look for updates from your state and local officials as more doses of the vaccine become available for additional priority groups.

If you come across a COVID-19 vaccine scam, report it to the Federal Trade Commission or call us at 1-800-MEDICARE.
