BARTLESVILLE, Okla. — Ten people at an Oklahoma care facility for people with intellectual disabilities were hospitalized after they were apparently accidentally injected with what's believed to be insulin rather than flu shots, authorities said.
The facility had contracted with an experienced pharmacist to administer the influenza vaccine, Roles said, but all received injections of what's believed to be insulin instead. Roles said the pharmacist is cooperating with police but that investigators believe it was an accident. "I've never seen where there's been some sort of medical misadventure to this magnitude," Roles said."It could have been worse. Not to downplay where we are, but thinking of where we could be, it certainly could have been very tragic."
