42 Spanish families pursuing legal action against nurse who allegedly faked the vaccine process for children
Their lawyer said on Thursday that 42 families in Spain are taking legal action against a nurse they accused of botching routine vaccinations for their children.
According to attorney Aitzol Asla, the nurse worked for 18 months at a government clinic in Santartzi, near the city of Bilbao, in the Basque region of northern Spain.
The regional health service launched an investigation in October after receiving complaints about the health worker’s behaviour.

When parents took their children to get vaccinated, Asla said, the nurse would inject them “very secretly, very rapidly” and then “throw the vial straight into the trash can.” Some parents “looked (the vial) was still full,” he said.

The lawyer said the nurse, who was not identified, also made frequent comments about vaccines.

When health officials tested the blood of affected children, it was discovered that many children did not have the antibodies that would be expected from receiving the vaccine. The legal case centered on the nurse’s falsification of vaccine records, showing that vaccines were administered when they allegedly were not, and misappropriation of public funds by throwing away unused drugs.
In addition to families taking legal action, Spanish media reported that up to 400 children may be affected.

Asla is now awaiting court instructions for the families to appear and testify after filing the case last month, and said the parents want the nurse barred from working in the public health system.
Anti-vaccine sentiment is generally rare in Spain. The country has the second highest rate of public trust in vaccines in the EU after Portugal, according to EU data released last year. Spanish government statistics show that most infant vaccinations are over 90%.
