GRAFTON, Wisconsin – Police and federal authorities are investigating after a Wisconsin health care worker admitted to deliberately spoiling 500 doses of the coronavirus vaccine.
Aurora Medical Center reported for the first time that the doses were spoiled on Saturday, saying they were accidentally left uncooled overnight by an Aurora Medical Center employee in Grafton. The health system said Wednesday that doses of the vaccine now appear to have been deliberately spoiled.
Police in Grafton, about 20 miles north of Milwaukee, said in a statement that the department, the FBI and the Food and Drug Administration are investigating the case “actively”. Police said they were notified of the alleged violation on Wednesday night. The police said Thursday morning that no further information would be released immediately, and did not say whether any arrests were made.
