Nurse Pleads Guilty to Serious Charges in Covid-19 Vaccination Fraud Case
A suspended nurse who was the centre of a serious scandal for forging vaccination cards in 2021, has pleaded guilty to 22 charges against her.
Jahmesha Millwood of Bolans was charged with 21 counts of intending to deceive the government by forging Covid-19 vaccination cards and one count of larceny for stealing blank cards.
She created fraudulent cards indicating that individuals had received the Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines and had allegedly charged over EC$1,000 per card for her illicit services at the Multipurpose Cultural Centre on November 13, 2021, when vaccination was mandatory.
At the time, Millwood was an employee of the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre and volunteered at vaccination sites.
