S-U-A hospital Covid vaccine left out of the fridge destroyed.
A thousand doses of Pfizer vaccine have been thrown away because the parcel was left out of a fridge.
The batch was delivered to Stratford Hospital, Warwickshire, on Tuesday and signed for.
But the parcel, which cost £12,000, was left unrefrigerated for two-and-a-half hours and a health spokesman said it "spoilt".
He said no patient missed their vaccination as extra supplies came from a neighbouring NHS trust.
A source told the BBC it was a disaster with vaccines supplies limited and people desperate for vaccine in parts of the region.
