Beware of this fake website offering COVID-19 vaccine for Rs 4,000-6,000

The government on Thursday warned people against a website impersonating the official website of the Union Ministry of Health & Family Welfare.

The fake website ‘mohfw.xyz’ claims to offer COVID-19 vaccine for ₹4,000-6,000. The fake website has a similar layout and colours and also has all the similar content as that of the original website and shows the ‘Active, discharged and death’.

But it has an additional option saying ‘Appointment for vaccination’, which is not available in the original website. Debunking such claims, the Fact Check Unit of the Press Information Bureau (PIB) clarified that the Health Ministry website is fake.

Taking to twitter, PIB Fact check tweeted, ” A website mohfw.xyz is impersonating the official website of Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and is claiming to offer #COVID19vaccine for ₹ 4000-6000 #PIBFactcheck: This is a website”
