The New Jersey Board of Pharmacy temporarily suspended the license of Christina Bekhit, owner of AllCare Pharmacy, after her arrest for selling falsified COVID-19 vaccination cards and entering false information into the state's immunization database. Under a consent order filed on July 5, 2022, Bekhit agreed to cease pharmacy operations and surrender her permit, addressing grave public health risks from fraudulent vaccination records.
Bekhit must immediately cease and desist from all pharmacy practice, discontinue or sell AllCare Pharmacy, and surrender her permit to operate, prohibiting her from engaging in pharmacy-related activities.
In-house legal teams should review all agreements where the entity handles sensitive health data or public health reporting, including vendor contracts with healthcare suppliers, customer/patient service agreements, and employee confidentiality/ethics agreements. Specific clauses to scrutinize are data accuracy and verification representations, compliance with state immunization registry reporting requirements, audit rights for health recordkeeping, termination provisions for illegal conduct or regulatory action, and indemnification clauses covering fines or sanctions. Given the falsification of state-managed vaccination records, contracts may need amendments to mandate real-time reporting validation, require immediate notification of any regulatory investigation, and impose stricter penalties for data manipulation. For pharmacy-specific agreements, ensure clauses align with state pharmacy board regulations on controlled substances and vaccination documentation.

"entered false vaccination information into the New Jersey Immunization Information System database"
The New Jersey Attorney General announced the arrest of Christina Bekhit, a pharmacist operating AllCare Pharmacy, for selling fake COVID-19 vaccination record cards and entering false information into the state's immunization database. She faces criminal charges for computer criminal activity, tampering with public information, and falsification of medical records.
A multistate coalition co-led by New Jersey won a federal court order rejecting the Trump Administration’s decision not to request funding for the CFPB. The order struck down that decision and directed the Administration to follow the law and fund the agency; no monetary penalty or privacy violation is described.
New Jersey’s Attorney General and Division of Consumer Affairs alerted the public that three synthetic kratom-related compounds became illegal to possess or sell in the state under a temporary federal scheduling order. The release describes a controlled-substance alert, not a privacy enforcement action, and identifies no company, privacy violation, or monetary penalty.
$2.3M
Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings agreed to pay $2,287,455 to participating states and strengthen its security and vendor-management practices following an investigation into the 2019 breach at its debt-collection vendor, AMCA. The breach potentially exposed information of more than 27.5 million people nationwide, including sensitive information belonging to approximately 10.2 million LabCorp patients.
$694.0M
New Jersey's Attorney General and Division of Consumer Affairs, along with 41 Attorneys General, reached a $694 million settlement with subprime auto lender Credit Acceptance Corporation over allegations it originated unaffordable loans its own systems predicted borrowers could not repay, employed aggressive debt-collection tactics, and failed to prevent deceptive vehicle-service contract and GAP product 'packing' by dealers. The multistate settlement stepped in after the CFPB permanently dropped its 2023 enforcement action against CAC in 2025. CAC will provide $60 million in cash restitution, $634 million in debt relief, an additional $15 million to the states, and implement injunctive lending reforms including loan off ramps, pre-loan disclosures, add-on packing safeguards, and a seven-year vehicle price cap. Note: this is a consumer-protection lending enforcement action, not a privacy matter; violation categories are best-fit mappings from the available taxonomy.
