Doctors working hard to make sure vaccine doses don’t go wasted

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – A daily push not seen from the outside is the effort hospitals and other medical facilities put forth to make sure the COVID vaccine doesn’t go to waste.
The issue came to light last month when an area doctor was accused of stealing a vial of the COVID-19 vaccine to administer to family and associates. The charges were dropped but the question remains: how should doctors respond when no one is available to receive the vaccine?
“Given the preciousness of this vaccine, the answer is you find somebody hopefully that fits into 1A or 1B categories,” said Joe Freudenberger, the CEO of Oakbend Medical Center. “But if not, I still think it is the best idea to use that vaccine rather than waste it.”
