Flu Vaccine Mix-up

Nurses Claim Company Administers Adult Vaccines To Children

So here’s the story:

Two nurses working in a clinic were given a flu vaccine that was only meant for adults and were instructed by their supervisor to administer it to children. One nurse read the insert and realized that the vaccine wasn’t meant for children, and so refused to administer it to children. The other nurse did not read the insert and did end up giving the vaccine to the children.

The strange thing about this case?
Both nurses were fired for the incident.
