Police and federal authorities are investigating after a Wisconsin health system said an employee admitted to deliberately spoiling 500 doses of coronavirus vaccine.
Aurora Medical Center first reported that the doses has been spoiled on Saturday, saying they had been accidentally left out unrefrigerated overnight by an employee at Aurora Medical Center in Grafton. The health system said Wednesday that an employee admitted spoiling the doses on purpose.
Aurora said it fired the employee and referred the matter to the authorities. The statement said nothing about a possible motive for the action, ABC reports.
