An accident occurred on the first day of the large-scale vaccination of the new crown vaccine in Germany. A nursing home in Stralsund, northern Germany, was revealed on the 28th that it had erroneously injected a dose equivalent to five times the normal value when vaccinating eight employees the day before. Four of the employees who were mistakenly vaccinated have been hospitalized for observation.
On the 27th, Germany officially launched nationwide vaccination. The first batch of vaccines used for vaccination was the mRNA vaccine jointly developed by BioNTech in Germany and Pfizer in the United States.
On the 28th, the county government of Pomeranian-Rügen, Germany, issued a statement confirming this incident. The statement stated that the eight nursing home employees who were given the wrong dose of the vaccine were between the ages of 66 and 82, including 7 women and 1 male.
The county magistrate Kete said that four of the affected employees have been hospitalized for preventive observation, and they are currently showing flu-like symptoms. “I express my deepest regrets about this incident. This is a case caused by the mistakes of individual staff members. I hope that all people affected by this incident will not experience serious side effects.”
