Forty\u002Dtwo families in Spain are pursuing legal action against nurse whom they allege faked process of administering vaccines to their kids.

When parents took their children to be vaccinated, Asla said, the nurse would inject them “very secretly, very fast,” and then “threw the vial directly into the garbage can.” Some of the parents “saw was still full,” he added.When health officials tested the affected children’s blood, it was discovered that many didn’t have the antibodies that would be expected from receiving the vaccines.
Asla is now awaiting court instructions for the families to appear and give testimony after filing the case last month, and said the parents want the nurse to be barred from working in the public health system. Anti-vaccine sentiment is generally rare in Spain. The country has the second-highest rate of public confidence in vaccines in the European Union after Portugal, according to EU statistics released last year. Spanish government statistics show that uptake of most infant vaccinations is more than 90%.
