NEW: Border Protection officers in Memphis stopped a HUGE shipment of fake COVID vaccine cards heading to New Orleans, from China. @wdsu 
@wdsu MORE: Memphis border protection officers said the cards had 'typos, unfinished words & misspelled some of the Spanish verbiage on the back.' Officers also said the package was imported by a non-CDC or medical entity & this was not the first time they had seen this shipper. @wdsu
@wdsu MORE: From Memphis border protection officers: "The recipients of this ubiquitous contraband are unfortunately all over the United States. This fiscal year to date, Memphis has made 121 seizures totaling 3,017 of these vaccination cards." @wdsu
@wdsu MORE from Michael Neipert, Area Port Director of Memphis: "These vaccinations are free & available everywhere. If you do not wish to receive a vaccine, that is your decision. But don’t order a counterfeit, waste my officer’s time, break the law & misrepresent yourself." @wdsu
