H1N1 Email Scam
A new scam is going around on the internet, and this time, it's going under the name of H1N1.
People who have been vaccinated are getting emails that say they need to register their profile with the centers for disease control.
Once you click on the link, it takes you to a malicious site.
The Alachua County Health Department reminds people they will not request information for the vaccination through email.
On Saturday the Alachua County Health Department will have several clinics for free H1N1 vaccinations. Below are the sites:
