German vaccination officer filled syringes with saline | Abroad

Saline solution is not harmful in small doses when injected, and there is no increased risk to people who received the injections, said Matthias Pultz, the head of the Lower Saxony state health service.

The regional head of the relevant department in the district of Friesland, Sven Ambrosy, said he was deeply shocked by the news. Ambrosy announced that immediately the ‘four-eyes principle’ was introduced when preparing the vaccination syringes.

“No one is left alone with the vaccines anymore, so that nothing can be hidden anymore,” said Ambrosy. The woman who made the mistake is a professional nurse of around 40 years old. The German Red Cross has announced that she will resign.

The police, after consulting with the prosecutor, have opened an investigation to determine whether the incident could be construed as assault. Authorities are currently figuring out which people got the salt injections and so have yet to get a real corona vaccine.
