Two people in Singapore were given undiluted COVID-19 vaccines in Singapore.
Yes, you’ve read it right: This occurred in Singapore.
Here’s what happened.
2 People Were Given Undiluted COVID-19 Vaccines in a Hougang Clinic on 15 Sept
The Ministry of Health (MOH) said that they were alerted of the incident yesterday (19 Sept).
Apparently, two adults were given an undiluted vial of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines each, with one needing hospitalisation after experiencing headache and increased heart rate.
This happened in a ProHealth Medical Group clinic at Hougang on 15 September.
According to MOH, the person has since been discharged.
The other patient did not report any adverse reaction.
MOH said, “MOH takes a serious view of this incident and is carrying out a thorough investigation.
“The clinic and doctor who administered the vaccine have been suspended from the national vaccination programme until further notice.”
Each vial appears to have five doses, so this means each of them could have received five doses instead of the usual one dose. The same thing happened last year when an employee at the Singapore National Eye Centre was wrongly administered the equivalent of five doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine.
Back then, the employee suffered no adverse reaction or side effects.
The mistake was due to a human error, as the “staff in charge of diluting the vaccine had been called away to attend to other matters during the preparation of the vaccine, and a second staff member had mistaken the undiluted dose in the vial to be ready for administering.”
