Two US women pose as 'grannies' to skip vaccine queue

Two women aged 34 and 44 attempted to pass as over-65s in Florida in order to jump the queue and receive their Covid-19 vaccines ahead of schedule, authorities have said.

The pair had apparently managed to secure one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine already as they had cards from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

But they were detected by officials and reprimanded when they turned up at a vaccination centre looking for their second dose.
