Friday, Nov 6, 2009 @08:58am CST

(Milwaukee, WI) -- A truck transporting 900 doses of H1N1 vaccine for the Milwaukee Health Department was stolen and recovered Thursday night, but the doses will have to be dumped.

Police say the truck was taken from an entrance to a middle school, where nearly two-thousand people were vaccinated earlier in the day.

The truck was later found abandoned.

While its contents of injectable and nasal vaccines appeared intact, officials say they can't be used because they were out of the health department's possession.

They will be sent back to the manufacturer and may not be replaced.
