Police arrest pharmacist accused of destroying about 570 Covid vaccine doses

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.

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.
