Andrei Doroshin

Philadelphia's NPR affiliate, WHYY, describes its 6-part series devoted to the scandal as "the story of a 22-year-old with no health care experience who talked his way into a COVID-19 vaccine distribution deal he thought would make him millions.

[13] The contract did not specify specific testing locations but PFC represented that the organization would focus on underserved communities and frontline healthworkers.

[4] On December 24, 2020, Doroshin was approved by the Philadelphia Department of Public Health to open a mass COVID-19 vaccine site on January 8, 2021.

In the report from the city Inspector General, "Accounts of those who were present during the first vaccination events suggest that most people were inoculated in an organized, safe and regulated manner.

Health Department employees who were present described the January 8 and 9 clinics favorably, noting that lines moved quickly and efficiently.

Administering personnel screened the patients to confirm that they had enrolled on the PFC sign-up (PrepMod) and were not at risk for adverse reaction to the vaccine.

Owing to the media-based claims of data sale and for-profit entity conversion the city cut ties with PFC.

"There was existing and available evidence at the department's disposal, including the dispute about the Society Hill testing events, billing issues, questions about the company's finances, serious problems with data collection on the testing side, negative information in the "secret shopper" review and Doroshin's overall reputation among Health Department employees.

Under the terms of the settlement, Doroshin is barred from working with charities in the commonwealth for ten years and must destroy all personal data collected by the organization.
