WILMINGTON, Del (CBS) – The Pennsylvania Department of Health and the Delaware Division of Public Health (DPH) are now saying that many state health care providers received tainted medications from a Massachusetts company linked to the fungal meningitis outbreak.
DPH is advising residents to contact their health provider if they received steroid or joint injections after May 12, 2012.
The move came after the FDA expanded the recall to include all drugs from the New England Compounding Center (NECC) and advised state officials in PA that approximately 140 providers had received the tainted steroids. Thirteen Delaware health care providers also received them.
