Fraudulent Email Related to H1N1 Vaccine

Some people have reported receiving a potentially fraudulent email similar to the document available at the following link: https://healthnet.isdh.in.gov/datacenter/apps/HANAlerts/Attachments/CDC%20fraudulent%20email.pdf

The message requests that users must create a personal H1N1 (swine flu) Vaccination Profile on the cdc.gov website. The message then states that anyone that has reached the age of 18 has to have his/her personal Vaccination Profile on the cdc.gov site.

The CDC has NOT implemented a state vaccination program requiring registration on www.cdc.gov. Users that click on the email are at risk of having malicious code installed on their system.
