Georgia's public health director is convinced the state was deceived in a $1.65 million deal for flu vaccine that was never delivered, despite claims by a pharmaceutical vendor that he intended to deliver the medication.

"It was our expectation that Adaptable had the vaccine and they were going to ship it," Toomey said.


Roger Elliott, the owner of Adaptable, said Saturday two Florida companies failed to provide the vaccine and that he worked a legitimate deal with Georgia.

Elliott said his Texas company doesn't store vaccine so it had to come from another company. But he added he is puzzled over what happened to the vaccine.


"I don't know if there was ever vaccine or if they (the Florida companies) had vaccine and they sold it," he said.
