If you get an e-mail about the H1N1 vaccine, health departments and police say it could be a scam. Deputies say it’s basically a phishing scam looking for your personal information and trying to get into your computer. It even showed up in the spot where they know all about the vaccine.

Eau Claire Health Director Richard Thoune says someone in his office got the e-mail. Investigators are warning you to not open an e-mail that looks like it's from the Centers for Disease Control because people working in health care say they'll never ask for your information in an e-mail like this.

Another employee but in Chippewa County also got the e-mail.

"I’m aware of a county employee who has received this e-mail and at first thought, "Gee, I just got my shot maybe I'm supposed to fill this out,” and then rethought, my health care provider would not be doing it this way," says Chippewa County Public Health Director Jean Durch.

The man who got the e-mail is actually an investigator with the Chippewa County Sheriff's Department.

He says he was surprised to find the e-mail in his inbox Tuesday morning because he had just gotten the Swine Flu Vaccine the night before.

While he wouldn't talk about it on camera he says it's a very convincing e-mail.

Seth Boffeli with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services says they're aware of the scam and are also warning you the state would never ask for this information in an e-mail.

"Everyone has busy lives you don't have the opportunity to know everything you may want or need to know about every subject so I think these individuals are just trying to catch people unguarded," says Seth Boffeli.

Chippewa County Health Director Jean Durch says when you do get your shot, they don't need as much information as the e-mail asks for.

"Basically it's like any other heath care visit, just enough information to get you the right dose at the right time," says Durch.

We talked to the CDC Wednesday. A spokesperson told WEAU they don't know how much information the scammers are getting though the e-mail or what they're doing with it. It did say the best thing you can do is not open the e-mail.
