The college says its inquiry also found that Shaikh altered the pharmacy’s software to make his records more difficult to find.It says the suspension and other penalties, including a two-year ban on tutoring pharmacy students, are “necessary to protect the public, send a clear message of deterrence to the profession.”

The inquiry found Shaikh’s creation of faked PharmaNet records helped him obtain a COVID-19 vaccine passport that could have been used to evade domestic and international vaccine mandates during the pandemic. “The false vaccine passport could have put the public at increased risk of harm,” writes the college, adding it considers Shaikh’s conduct a “serious matter.”

Shaikh’s suspension began on March 13 and the college statement shows he will be eligible to resume working as a pharmacist on April 11.Share this article in your social network
