The nurse, who was not identified, told authorities that she thought it odd
that company employees did not know about lot numbers used to track vaccines.
The nurse also became concerned when a Hawa employee said he had pricked his
finger a few times while filling the syringes, and not to let the doctor at the
health fair examine the syringes, according to the FBI.
The nurse kept two of the syringes and gave them to the FBI.
Medicare fraud carries up to 10 years in prison and $250,000 fine.
In May, a nurse in Minnesota, Michelle Torgerson, pleaded guilty to charges
she used diluted flu vaccine left over from an earlier clinic and gave college
students shots at $20 each.
