ADELAIDE, South Australia – Children were left unprotected from deadly diseases after a nurse administered the wrong vaccines and altered records to cover her tracks, SACAT has found.

Nurse Tracy Paterson (aka Tracy Paterson-Gray) deleted or altered the records of 17 patients while she worked as a nurse.

Ms Paterson has been banned from providing health services for 15 years.

An investigation spanning several years also discovered Tracy Paterson posed as doctors to prescribe herself weight loss medication, and blamed her young stepdaughter after she forged training certificates to make them appear current.
