Keith Myers Agreed to Pay $250,000 for Allegedly Violating the Civil Monetary Penalties Law by Causing False Claims, Records, and Statements Related to Federally Funded COVID-19 Vaccines

On September 23, 2025, Keith Myers, Palm Beach County, Florida, entered into a $250,000 settlement agreement with OIG. The settlement agreement resolves allegations that Myers, the Chief Executive Officer of MorseLife Health System Inc. (MorseLife), caused MorseLife to request COVID-19 vaccine shots funded by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program (LTC PPP) in order to vaccinate individuals who were ineligible to receive the vaccine under the LTC PPP. The LTC PPP funded COVID-19 vaccines for residents and staff of long-term care facilities. Myers directed MorseLife employees to arrange for individuals who were neither residents nor staff of MorseLife to obtain COVID-19 vaccinations at MorseLife vaccine clinics funded by the LTC PPP. MorseLife staff made various false representations to the pharmacy that administered these vaccinations, including that the ineligible vaccine recipients were staff members of MorseLife.
