From the New York State Health Department:
The New York State Department of Health today voided pediatric immunization records for approximately 135 children, all school-aged or younger, whose purported vaccinations were found to have been falsified by former Suffolk County nurse practitioner Julie DeVuono who did business as Wild Child Pediatrics.
An investigation by the Department of Health’s Bureau of Investigations determined that DeVuono, previously of Amityville, N.Y., submitted information to the New York State Immunization Information System (“NYSIIS”) about hundreds of standard pediatric vaccinations that were never administered.
Her false vaccination scheme mostly included children from Long Island and the Hudson Valley but may also have included children from New York City and as far as the Capital District. The investigation, which is ongoing, has already found that DeVuono falsified over 1,500 pediatric vaccinations.
The Department has served DeVuono with notice of administrative charges for alleged violations of Public Health Law. A hearing is scheduled for November 19 and DeVuono could face a penalty of up to $2,000 per falsified entry of a vaccination in NYSIIS.
This investigation follows DeVuono’s arrest in January 2022 on charges related to her large-scale COVID-19 vaccination card scheme.
The Department worked with the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, the Suffolk County Police Department, and the U.S. Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General on that investigation.
DeVuono pled guilty to criminal charges related to the COVID-19 vaccination scheme in September 2023 and was sentenced in June 2024 pursuant to a plea agreement.
Among other things, the plea agreement required DeVuono to surrender her nursing licenses and forfeit more than $1.2 million of proceeds from her COVID crimes.
The vaccinations that were part of the scheme included: diphtheria, tetanus toxoid-containing and pertussis vaccination (DTaP or Tdap); hepatitis B vaccination; measles, mumps and rubella vaccination (MMR); measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (Chickenpox) vaccination (MMRV); polio vaccination; varicella (Chickenpox) vaccination; meningococcal conjugate vaccination (MenACWY and MCV4); and the Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccination (HiB) and pneumococcal conjugate vaccination (PCV) required for day care and pre-k.
From a June 2024 CBS News report:
Julie DeVuono, 51, admitted to money laundering and forgery. She was sentenced to 840 hours of community service in lieu of six months in jail.
She was also sentenced to five years of probation, and has to forfeit $1.2 million. Much of the money was seized in her home in 2021, along with ledgers documenting profits.
The judge called her “an opportunistic thief.” Russo claims it was government interference with personal liberties that created the climate for fake vaccines. “You do what’s right, and you suffer the consequences,” DeVuono said.
And now she gets new charges.
Her money beg on the far-right Christian platform GiveSendGo has so far raised $22,000.

The LI NP who was found with $1M cash in her house that she earned giving out fake vaccine cards was sentenced earlier this month–to community service, no jail time–and has created a GiveSendGo for herself.
