A Wisconsin health system says 500 doses of coronavirus vaccine that had to be discarded after being left without refrigeration appear to have been deliberately pampered by an employee.
Aurora Medical Center reported the altered doses for the first time on Saturday and said they were accidentally left overnight by an employee at Aurora Medical Center in Grafton.
In a statement late Wednesday, Aurora said the employee involved “admitted today that he intentionally removed the vaccine from the refrigerator.”
Aurora’s statement says they fired the employee and sent the matter to the authorities for further investigation.
Their statement did not address a possible reason for action, and health officials did not immediately respond to messages.
