“We have absolutely not, under any circumstances, knowingly vaccinated anyone who does not meet criteria per the departments of health that we’ve been working with,” Diamond said Thursday.Two One Medical employees were terminated for “inappropriate use of a vaccine,” Diamond said, declining to provide details.
