This Kentucky doctor allegedly let his wife mishandle vaccines, causing ‘health crisis’

A Mt. Sterling doctor was reprimanded Friday by the state medical licensing board for allegedly allowing his unlicensed wife to mishandle vaccines, causing an infection outbreak in patients across Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. ... The Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure, in an agreed order, placed Dr. Paul E. McLaughlin on five years probation, beginning immediately, and ordered him to pay a $5,000 fine for delegating to someone without a medical license and because he “contributed to a public health crisis.”

The Montgomery County vaccination provider “Location Vaccination” is owned and operated by Dr. McLaughlin’s wife, Fairshinda Sabounchi McLaughlin. The private company was hired during last year’s flu season to provide vaccines to adult employees in more than 20 municipalities at their workplaces.

The Kentucky Department of Public Health first flagged McLaughlin’s vaccinations as a public health threat early this year, after people who had received his flu shots reported swelling, redness, and hard lumps at injection sites. Public health officials concluded these results were likely due to improper storage and handling of the vaccines.

The administering of this batch of vaccines began in the fall of 2018, and some patients began reporting their reactions to the McLaughlins around Thanksgiving.
