Stanford University School of Medicine Vaccines Nonclinical Staff Before Qualification – NBC Bay Area

Stanford University officials said last weekend’s vaccinated staff and researchers failed to further emphasize the facility’s defective vaccine distribution program, according to a statement from a Stanford University official. He was not considered a frontline healthcare worker.

As originally reported Stanford DailyStanford University School of Medicine confirmed in a statement Wednesday that some non-clinical staff were given vaccine doses provided through Saturday and Sunday walk-in appointments at Stanford Hospital, which was intended exclusively for clinical staff.

A Stanford University spokesperson said in a statement early Wednesday that “many individuals were rejected because they did not meet the required criteria...“Some of the follow-up statements later that day said:” Unfortunately, inaccurate information about vaccine availability spread within the community last weekend, and some ineligible employees. Members will be vaccinated. “

Only front-line healthcare professionals were eligible to be vaccinated at Stanford from December 17th to December 28th. Other non-clinical staff will be eligible from January 8th.

However, according to Daily, facility affiliates have an “excessive” supply of vaccines that could hit non-clinical staff, including faculty and students, via email and social media. It is reported that they shared incorrect information.

According to Stanford University, vaccinations on Wednesday are invitation-only and notifications will be sent through the MyHealth system and department leaders.

“At this point, Stanford University only vaccinates the health care workers who face the patient,” the statement continued. “We are confident that we will address this issue and continue vaccination promptly throughout Stanford University School of Medicine through an ethical and impartial process.”

This latest mistake in Stanford medicine’s vaccine deployment happens almost two weeks later. Dozens of frontline residents went out in protest, They say they were passed in the first vaccination phase. Post-protest facility leaders apologized for flaws in the algorithm used to distribute the vaccine and promised to revise plans to prioritize frontline workers.

The latest complete statement from Stanford Medicine regarding the latest vaccination mistakes is as follows:

“Nationwide, healthcare systems like Stanford Medicine are working hard to quickly immunize health care workers under unprecedented conditions. Unfortunately, last weekend on availability of vaccines. Inaccurate information spread throughout the community and some ineligible employees were vaccinated. Stanford University School of Medicine only administers vaccines to healthcare professionals facing patients. We are confident that we will address this issue and continue to promptly vaccinate the entire Stanford University Medical Community through an ethical and equitable process. “

Here is the original complete statement from Stanford Medicine early Wednesday:

“The Stanford University School of Medicine was disappointed to find that false information about the availability of vaccines was widespread. On Sunday, many individuals were rejected because they did not meet the required criteria. We recognize that ensuring a fair vaccine distribution process in Japan depends on the commitment of vaccinated people, and our management.

“Currently, Stanford University is vaccinating patient care workers. Immunization is invitation-only and notifications are sent through the MyHealth system and department leaders. This fair process is in California Public Health. The Department will allow everyone in Stanford University School of Medicine to be vaccinated. “
