Flu price suits settled in 2 states
A Florida company has settled lawsuits with two states alleging that it inflated the price of flu vaccine.
Meds-Stat, based in Fort Lauderdale, agreed last week to stop selling the vaccine in Kansas.
In a Florida settlement, the company agreed to stop buying and selling flu vaccines and to give up its remaining inventory.
Meds-Stat did not admit to any wrongdoing. Lawsuits against the company remain in Connecticut and Texas.
Several large hospital systems in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky have said recently that they have been contacted by unnamed vendors trying to sell flu vaccine at up to 10 times the regular price of about $80 to $100.
