December 01, 2001|From Times Wire Reports

State medical regulators Friday restricted the license of a San Jose doctor who allegedly gave diluted or old flu vaccines to 1,000 hotel workers in 1999 and 2000.

Dr. James L. Andrews was barred from giving or supervising flu shots because of his "multiple extreme departures from the standard of practice," the Medical Board of California said in a statement.

Andrews, a family practitioner, "routinely altered and diluted the dosage" of flu shots he administered, the Medical Board said.
