GGD Groningen accidentally vaccinates people with AstraZeneca vaccine instead of Moderna
Groningen – At the MartiniPlaza injection site, 20 people received a different vaccine on Saturday morning than the one they were invited for. The GGD Groningen will let you know.
This concerns people who were vaccinated between 09:10 and 09:35. They were supposed to get a Moderna vaccine, but accidentally got the AstraZeneca vaccine. The error came to light when, when the vaccine was raised, it turned out that two ampoules of AstraZeneca had been prepared. “We immediately sounded the bell and as a result, no more people were vaccinated with a different vaccine than the one for which they were invited,” reports the GGD. Public Health Inspectorate informed The GGD Groningen says it regrets the incident. “Measurements have now been taken to prevent such an incident in the future.” The incident was also reported to the Public Health Inspectorate. “In consultation with the inspectorate, all those involved who were vaccinated within the aforementioned period were called and informed.
RIVM has also been informed.” Side effects AstraZeneca can cause a rare side effect in certain cases. Although the chance is small, the side effects, such as blood clots in combination with a shortage of platelets, can be serious. If side effects arise, the vaccinated person can contact the GGD or the general practitioner. The advice of the GGD is to contact us immediately in case of side effects.
