Faced with a mounting count of wasted COVID-19 doses in Shelby County and a new allegation that some shots were potentially pilfered by a volunteer worker at a drive-up site, the head of the health department, Dr. Alisa Haushalter, resigned Friday.
"This is an appropriate path forward at this juncture based on what has happened and based on what Director Haushalter wants to do," County Mayor Lee Harris said after a lengthy meeting with county commissioners.
