Two elementary school teachers in Missouri were rushed by ambulance to the hospital last month after being mistakenly dosed with insulin instead of the flu vaccine, the teachers' lawyer said Monday.

Lawyer Paul Passanante said that three other elementary school teachers were sickened the morning of Sept. 26, and reported the symptoms to the school nurse, Joanne Peugh. She informed her supervisor, he said.

The Parkway School District had been offering the flu vaccine for teachers and other employees at all of its buildings through its insurance provider, but has discontinued the shots as a precaution while the district investigates whether the nurse at Shenandoah Valley accidentally administered insulin, spokesman Paul Tandy said. Hundreds of employees had received the vaccine with no other major complications.
