Vaccine Provider Investigated About Infections

The Department for Public Health is investigating multiple infections associated with vaccinations given by  Location Vaccination at various businesses in Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana since last September. 

Most of the vaccinations were administered at businesses in central Kentucky, but Location Vaccination provided services in other areas of the Commonwealth as well as locations in Indiana and Ohio.

Individuals with vaccination-associated infections related to this provider have experienced redness, pain or tenderness, swelling, and the development of hard lumps, or nodules, at the injection site.

Though Location Vaccination has stopped administering immunizations, it is still possible individuals previously vaccinated by this provider could develop an infection. Symptoms may start from a few days to more than 12 weeks after vaccination. Medical care is advised since infections will likely not get better on their own.

Any businesses who believe Location Vaccination (or anyone representing this company) provided vaccination to their employees should notify their employees immediately and contact the Department for Public Health at (502) 564-3418. 

DPH continues to strongly encourage vaccination to protect against hepatitis A, seasonal influenza and all vaccine-preventable diseases.

The Mt. Sterling-based vaccine provider is owned and operated by Fairshinda Sabounchi McLaughlin under the medical license of Dr. Paul E. McLaughlin.
