Two high-ranking NYPD officers have been busted for allegedly submitting fake COVID-19 vaccination cards — and “numerous” others are being probed in what could be a widespread department scam, The Post has learned.

Lieutenant Joseph Marsella and Captain Desmond Morales were placed on modified duty Tuesday for allegedly trying to evade the citywide vaccine mandate by submitting the bogus paperwork into the department’s system, police sources said.

“There’s two modified right now,” a high-ranking police source said. “There’s numerous people being summonsed by the Attorney General and FBI.”

Marsella works in the 72nd Precinct and joined the department in 2008.

Morales joined the force in 2000 and works in Brooklyn. It wasn’t clear what precinct or unit he’s part of.

Both will lose their guns and shields, the sources said.
