The Vaudreuil nurse was accused of creating false vaccine profiles

The Vaudreuil nurse was accused of creating false vaccine profiles

A nurse from Vaudreuil-Dorion in Monterrey was criminally charged with creating false vaccine profiles as part of a vaccination campaign against Covid-19.

Kayla Pellegrino will face charges of fraudulent computer use and making false documents, a court document we consulted shows.

The 31-year-old woman was charged following an investigation by the Perpetual Anti-Corruption Unit (UPAC).

In the indictment dated November 15, Pellegrino “created vaccine profiles, knowing them to be false, with the intention of convincing the Quebec government that these documents were genuine”.

Between November 16, 2021 and January 13, 2022, UPAC’s sergeant-inspector Patrice Baudrier said the alleged offenses occurred.

The nurse states on her LinkedIn profile that she has worked at pharmaceutical company McKesson since last August. Previously, he worked at Lakeshore Hospital in Pointe-Claire from January 2017 to July 2021.

This is the second known case of criminal charges filed following a UPAC investigation for manufacturing false vaccine evidence.

Last September, Caroline Fournier, a former employee of Capital-National’s Integrative University Health and Social Services Center, was charged with breach of trust, making false documents and computer fraud.

Police later explained that for a few days in September 2021, Fournier “made false entries in the Quebec vaccination registry for himself and others.”

Also, in August, a dozen reports of violations of the Public Health Act were issued following investigations by UPAC. These criminal offenses, to be distinguished from criminal charges, carry fines of $1,000 to $6,000.

UPAC indicated that “about thirty criminal investigations” had been opened during that time.
