I don’t know the situation but I wonder how he got ‘extra doses’.
They had a vaccination event. Someone comes in at the end, and they pop open a new vial to get vaccinated. Last person, event closes, and you have a full vial with 10 doses that has to be trashed in six hours.
Instead of throwing it out, he starts looking for qualifying patients like elderly with health problems. After he asked his superiors for any referrals to come to the vaccination site and a boss’ elderly parents who might want to be vaccinated.
He spends hours vaccinating 10 people like a mom whose kid is on a ventilator ... and gets punished for it.
If d = doses per vial
And v = number of vials removed from cold storage
And i = number of patients inoculated
Then a = number of available doses = d * v
Then i <= a
Then e = extra doses = a - i
There’s an extra dose in every vial. The manufacturer errs on the side of a little too much so nobody gets a vial with a little to little.
He “got extra doses” because he was holding a vaccine clinic. He was told in no uncertain terms not to waste any doses.
There are 10 doses in a vial and any unused vaccine must be discarded a certain number of hours after the first vaccine is taken from that vial.
He had two people come in for vaccines at the end of the day and had to open a new vial.
He now had, I think, 8 or so doses that he could either waste or administer. He set out to find people to vaccinate rather than to discard them.
He was fired for this.
He cracked open a vial of 11 doses with only one patient available.
“According to officials, Gokal told a public health employee about the alleged theft, which led to him being reported. He was soon fired from his position.”
So who is the mysterious reporting person?
