A 50-year-old man tried to pass off a silicone arm as his own at a COVID-19 vaccination clinic in northern Italy, in an attempt to get a vaccine certificate without actually getting inoculated

The deception was spotted by a nurse, Filippa Bua, as she was about to administer the vaccine in Biella, Piedmont on Thursday. Bua told CNN she noticed something odd about the arm.

The revelation prompted a range of emotions for Bua, who said she has been a nurse since 1987 and has administered thousands of jabs. In a video message, the President of the Piedmont regional government, Alberto Cirio, went further, saying the incident was"an offense to the region's health system, that is among the first in Italy for vaccination capacity and for booster doses."

Under the new measure, only those with full vaccination or proof of recovery from coronavirus are allowed entrance to such venues.
