School staffers get insulin instead of flu shot

School officials in Wellesley, Massachusetts said several staff members at an elementary school had to be taken to the hospital after being injected with insulin rather than the swine flu vaccine.

School Superintendent Bella Wong said no students were ever in danger and all the people who got the wrong shot have recovered.

The insulin belonged to students with diabetes and was provided by their parents.

The school nurse who administered the insulin to staff has been placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation.
