Read the full article: McKesson pays $18 million to settle CDC shipping allegations | Modern Healthcare:

"McKesson contracted with the CDC for its Vaccines for Children program, which provides federally purchased vaccines to children age 18 and younger. McKesson distributed the vaccines from manufacturers to healthcare providers. According to the government contract, the shipping of vaccines requires temperature monitors in each box, and those monitors must be programmed to detect if the air temperature falls below 2 degrees Celsius or rises above 8 degrees Celsius. The Department of Justice alleged McKesson did not set the temperature monitors to the proper range, yet still submitted claims for services. "
