MILWAUKEE (AP) – A state council has suspended the license of a Wisconsin pharmacist accused of destroying more than 500 doses of COVID-19 vaccine because he thought it was unsafe.
Steven Brandenburg was working for attorney Aurora Health in Grafton, about 20 miles north of Milwaukee, when he was arrested last month.
The arrest follows an investigation into the 57 spoiled vials of the Moderna vaccine. He was not criminally charged. The Wisconsin Pharmacy Council said Wednesday Brandenburg could not operate a pharmacy while suspended.
According to the council’s order, Brandenburg agreed to the suspension to focus on possible charges against him.
