HONOLULU — A Florida couple is accused of attempting to use fake vaccination cards to visit Hawaii for a family vacation, authorities said.
Enzo Dalmazzo, 43, and Daniela Dalmazzo, 31, both of Miami Beach, were charged with falsifying a vaccine card, WTVJ reported, citing complaints filed by the Hawaii Attorney General’s Office. Daniela Dalmazzo is also facing two counts for submitting false documents for the couple’s two children, KHON reported.
Hawaii allows U.S. travelers to enter the state on domestic flights without quarantine requirements if they are fully vaccinated, according to KTLA.
The couple was arrested in Honolulu on Aug. 11 after an airport screener became suspicious about the children’s vaccine cards, WTVJ reported. The children were born in 2016 and 2017 and are too young to have been vaccinated with any of the three vaccines approved for use in the U.S.,the television station reported.
A person convicted of falsifying a vaccination card can be fined up to $5,000 and receive a one-year prison sentence, according to KHON.
“The screener at the airport, when they came through, noticed an anomaly about the age of the children and the vaccine, and that’s how we got involved,” Joe Logan, a special agent with the Hawaii Attorney General’s Office, said in a news release, according to WTVJ.
The couple was released after posting $8,000 bail, WFLA reported.
