A senior staff member for Alberta Health Services was fired for giving the Calgary Flames swine flu shots while thousands of people waited in line for the vaccine last week. The board, which reports directly to the Alberta provincial government, won't name who was dismissed on Wednesday and said more people might be punished for their roles. "I am deeply offended that this circumstance has occurred," Ken Hughes, chairman of Alberta Health Services, said in a news release. (link)
