More than 1,000 Exxon Mobil employees received flu shots last week with a

vaccine now being investigated by the FBI to determine its authenticity.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is testing samples of the vaccine.

The flu shots were given to about 1,000 Exxon Mobil employees and 80

contractors during a Health Fair Oct. 19-20 at the company's Baytown

complex of refinery and chemical plants.

state-licensed independent physician's office was contracted to administer

the shots. would not identify the office.

In the past, she said, a company medical team administered the flu shots to

employees at that plant.

week that it was investigating the authenticity of the vaccine.

stemmed from the use of the vaccine at the Baytown complex.

preliminary investigation does not show the vaccine to be harmful, but

measures were being taken to ensure its safety.

steps are being taken to ensure their well being, " he stated. " We are also

attempting to ascertain whether others might have received a fake vaccine. "

be prosecuted for fraud.

notified Wednesday.
