Exxon-Mobil Employees Given Fake Flu Shots

BAYTOWN, Texas - Fake flu shots were given out last
week at a health fair at Exxon Mobil Corp.'s Baytown
complex and an investigation was under way,
authorities said. FBI told the company that what was
administered "definitely not the flu vaccine."
It doesn't appear that the fake shots were harmful,
but steps were being taken to ensure workers' safety,
U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg said in a statement
Thursday.
Exxon Mobil offered blood tests and counseling to the
up to 1,000 employees who took part in the health fair
at the oil company's vast complex of refineries and
chemical plants just east of Houston.

The FBI and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are
investigating what was in the syringes and whether
others might have received the fake vaccine, Rosenberg
said.
Jeanne Miller, another Exxon Mobil spokeswoman, said a
doctor provided the shots in Exxon's first use of an
outside contractor to administer the shots. She
declined to identify the doctor because of the federal
investigation. In the past, Miller said, company
medical staff had offered flu shots at health fairs.
FBI officials did not explain how they found out about
the potential fraud, Roberts said. In May, a nurse in
Minnesota, Michelle Torgerson, pleaded guilty to
dispensing a drug without a prescription, admitting
she used diluted vaccine left over from an earlier
clinic and pocketed the cash when she gave college
students shots at $20 each.
