Man admits H1N1 vaccine for sale ad a hoax

Victoria— Globe and Mail Update

A man who posted an ad for an H1N1 vaccine on usedvictoria.com turned himself into Victoria police, admitting that the post was a hoax.

In the ad, the prankster claimed to be a nurse with a vial of H1N1 vaccine to sell.

Victoria Police's Major Crime Detectives investigated the post after receiving a complaint from the Vancouver Island Health Authority.

Police say the man, who is not a nurse, is co-operating with police, and is remorseful about the prank.

They are not recommending any charges.
