ST. PAUL, Minn. - (KRT) - With state and federal drug labs, police, college administrators and legal experts sorting through the complicated case of a campus flu-shot scare, the nurse at the center of the controversy offered a simple explanation.
"I just want all the students and staff to know that they're OK and I didn't do anything wrong," Michelle Lynn Torgerson, 33, said Monday at a news conference in her lawyer's office.
Torgerson, a licensed practical nurse from Albertville, Minn., then walked away and left the lawyer to answer questions about the shots she administered over two to three days last week at Augsburg College. Officials had not authorized anyone to conduct vaccinations and did not know who was jabbing needles into the arms of students and faculty members.
Robert Hajek said his client has given thousands of flu shots during the past few months at nursing homes and at stores such as Snyder Drug, Walgreens and Costco. He said that she had obtained flu vaccine from her employer and that it was the same as the vaccine she had been administering for months.
