Company in charge of vaccinating CPS employees misallocated 6,000 vaccines, Chicago Health Department says: ‘This is completely unacceptable behavior’

The company in charge of vaccinating Chicago Public Schools employees “knowingly” misallocated 6,000 vaccines, leading the city’s public health department to stop providing it with shots, officials announced late Tuesday. CPS contracted with Innovative Express Care to vaccinate school district employees, but the public health department “determined that they knowingly misallocated more than 6,000 doses of vaccine — including using vaccine allocated for second doses for first dose appointments instead,” officials said in a news release.
