Over 1,150 Receive Incorrect Pfizer Doses; Repeat Appointments Scheduled
Over 1,150 individuals in our region have received incorrect doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine due to a cold chain protocol error. The affected individuals will be contacted by a THD representative to schedule a repeat dose appointment, as advised by the CDC. The error occurred when the vaccine was stored in the freezer for longer than recommended, up to 14 additional days.
The CDC advises repeating the dose as soon as possible in the opposite arm to ensure full efficacy. There is no known health risk to these individuals, but receiving an additional dose is not expected to have an elevated risk. Side effects will be similar to previous doses.
