School destroys 5000 doses of H1N1

The school had put 5000 doses of the H1N1 virus shot in the trash because the refrigerator that varied between 35-46 degrees regularly dropped down to 30. The CDC tests these vaccines in those temperature ranges and anything outside of that range has not been tested and they are not sure that it would work. The school had put these vaccines into the fridge on a Friday evening. Saturday morning a janitor had checked the fridge and the temperature had dropped. Thus destroying all these doses.

I feel that the school needs to take more care with those vaccines. Those are in extremely high demand and they have ruined them, most likely unintentionally. However, when you are handed something that important you need to get that taken care of correctly. The school shouldn't be given anymore before other people and schools.
