This is the best summary I could come up with:


A former New Wetminster pharmacy manager who admitted reusing syringe barrels while immunizing people against COVID-19 is suing his former employer for wrongful dismissal and breach of contract.

Bhanu Prasad Seelaboyina filed a lawsuit against multiple companies he worked for, all of which share an address with Kent Guardian Pharmacy in New Westminster.

It claims he made an "error in judgment" in August 2021 when he reused syringe barrels — the plastic tube that holds the vaccine solution, not the needle — on some patients at Kent Guardian.

Seelaboyina, when contacted at a pharmacy where he now works as a contractor, referred CBC News to his lawyer, who declined to comment "as this matter is in litigation."

The lawsuit admits Seelaboyina reused the syringe barrels while administering COVID-19 shots "under the belief that he was engaging in safe practice that would not pose a health risk to patients."

He entered into a consent agreement with the college, the terms of which which included a year-long license suspension, a further 180-day ban on administering drugs by injection or nasally and the requirement to take a number of remedial courses.
