Police arrest pharmacist accused of destroying about 570 Covid vaccine doses
A Wisconsin pharmacist was arrested Thursday afternoon, accused of intentionally spoiling approximately 570 doses of Covid vaccine, local police said in a press release Thursday.
Police were called to investigate the incident at Advocate Aurora Health Hospital in Grafton on Wednesday after a former employee allegedly admitted to deliberately leaving 57 vials of Moderna coronavirus vaccine unrefrigerated, knowing that doing so would render the vaccine ineffective.
Aurora Health said in a press release Wednesday that the situation was a violation of our core values and that the pharmacist had been fired. We continue to believe that vaccination is our way out of the pandemic. We are more than disappointed that this individual s actions will result in a delay of more than 500 people receiving their vaccine, the medical center said Wednesday.
