The owner of a Houston health care company remains behind bars today after his company issued more than 1,000 fake flu shots to local Exxon Mobil workers during a safety fair last week.
Iyad Abu El Hawa, 35, was arrested Thursday for his role in a scam to defraud Medicare by providing flu vaccinations at company health fairs. His company, Comfort & Caring Home Health, provided approximately 1,000 Exxon Mobil employees and 80 private contractors with shots full of what the FDA said was “some form of purified water” instead of the flu vaccine.
