The Wisconsin pharmacist accused of trying to destroy more than 500 doses of COVID-19 vaccine has been charged with a misdemeanor as the investigation continues, authorities said.

Brandenburg, 46, confessed to authorities that he had intentionally removed the vaccine vials on two separate occasions with the purpose of allowing the vaccine to be outside the temperature range so that it would not be effective, according to the criminal complaint.
