VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – A state audit says the state health department stored thousands of COVID-19 vaccine doses at incorrect temperatures and that some of the vaccine was administered to patients.

Tim Wiedrich, who heads the agency disputes the claim. He says no non-viable vaccines were given to patients.

City County Health District Administrator Theresa Will said COVID-19 vaccines administered to patients in Barnes County were not compromised. She said they have vaccine temperature storage safeguard monitors.

The North Dakota Health Department and the state auditor’s office are not recommending re-vaccination. The full interview with Theresa Will is below.
