Tennessee state officials say the investigation into Shelby County's wasted COVID-19 vaccine doses is now finished, and that no one was given a vaccine dose that had expired, the Commercial Appeal reports. Tennessee State Health Commissioner Lisa Piercey said in a statement that, "Vaccine stability remained intact for the days in question.” Last week, state investigators found data allowing them to verify the cold chain stability of the vaccine doses given. The investigation into the county’s handling of its vaccine supply was triggered after it was discovered that the local health department wasted thousands of doses.
