Illinois vaccine donation to Pakistan never reached earthquake victims
Illinois donated flu vaccine to Pakistan after a 2004 shortage but it was rejected by Pakistani officials as expired. The quarter million doses worth 2.6 million were refrigerated for months and destroyed in November 2006. Officials blamed tracking gaps and questioned assurances from Ecosse Hospital Products Ltd. The affair drew criticism from Illinois officials and auditors, who labeled the effort unlawful and wasteful.
