Case dropped against nurse accused of ‘fake’ COVID-19 vaccination
Perth Magistrates Court says the charges against a nurse who allegedly faked the injection of a teenager have been discontinued
A Perth nurse accused of faking a COVID-19 vaccination of a teenager has had her charge dropped.
A doctor allegedly observed Christina Hartmann Benz, 51, last month failing to administer the injection of a teen who she knows.
It was alleged the registered nurse, who worked at a private medical centre in St James, inserted the needle into the teenager’s arm but didn’t push down on the plunger.
She was accused of disposing of the full syringe and making a false entry in the medical records system, which recorded that another medical centre staffer had administered the dose instead of her.
