Kansas hospital trashes hundreds of coronavirus vaccine doses due to mistake
Fox News
A Kansas hospital was forced to throw away nearly 600 COVID-19 vaccine doses this week due to a "process error," health officials said Thursday.
The Lawrence, Kansas, hospital, in a release, said it followed this procedure, "not realizing they were already thawed." "When we discovered the vaccines had been delivered to the hospital in a refrigerated state, LMH Health immediately reached out to Johnson & Johnson for guidance," said Brian Bradfield, LMH Health associate vice president of ancillary services. "The company advised these doses will have to be discarded."More Related News
