PARENTS of children affected by vaccines stored in a faulty fridge at a Barnsley GP surgery are preparing to sue the practice.
More than 500 children will have to be revaccinated after the effectiveness of the medication stored in the fridge at Brierley Medical Practice from 2009 to 2014 may have been compromised.
Several parents in the area have already contacted lawyers but it's thought hundreds of others may come forward.
Andrew Harrison, head of medical negligence at Raleys, said: "Despite reassurances from the authorities that the children have not been harmed by the vaccinations that they did receive, parents are obviously and rightly concerned.
"The unfortunate fact is that these children now all face having to go through the painful process again - and they know what to expect from it."
