DETROIT (WXYZ) - Sighle Kinney is fuming after her 14-year-old daughter was given four shots by the school nurse at Marcus Garvey Academy without her permission.
The daughter says she was called out of class by the school nurse back on January 30th and sent to the school’s clinic, which is operated by St. John’s medical.
While there she was given four vaccinations, including the one for HPV. It was the shot for HPV really touched a nerve.
Sighle was furious. She says she never gave consent for the shots to the school or St. John’s – Sighle says she even signed a document indicating never to administer medical treatment to her daughter.
“I told them – if she falls, give her a Band Aid, or if she has a headache, give her an aspirin – that’s it,” she says”
A week after getting the shots Sighle’s 14 year-old daughter came down with a rash on her arms that spread to the rest of her body.
Bottom line, Sighle says someone needs to be held accountable.
“I’m angry with everybody. You know, St. John’s should have better nurses… How are you going to overlook something like this – you injected my child with medicine I never wanted her to have,” she says.
