The vaccines were left out overnight Dec. 26, and an earlier review of the incident assumed it was an accident. On Dec. 30, the employee “acknowledged that they intentionally removed the vaccine,” according to a news release obtained by CBS 58.

The Grafton Police Department is investigating the incident with the FDA and FBI, police officials said in a news release.
