WP: 70 children in Maryland were vaccinated against COVID-19 with an expired Pfizer vaccine

Dozens of children in the US have been vaccinated in Maryland an expired coronavirus vaccine from Pfizer. It is reported by The Washington Post (WP).

According to the newspaper, at least 70 children were vaccinated with the drug, which turned out to be expired due to a violation of storage conditions. Health services have assured that the health of minors is not in danger. In doing so, they urged their parents to make sure that their children receive another dose of vaccine to properly protect against COVID-19.

“We deeply regret the mistake and apologize for the concern and inconvenience caused to families,” said the deputy chief of the local health administration, George L. Askew. According to him, personnel were retrained in the region on storage of vaccines.

On September 30, it was reported that about 260 people in the French region of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes received the expired Pfizer vaccine against COVID-19. Among those vaccinated with doses from this batch were about 100 students from seven colleges. After checking the state of health of the vaccinated, no violations were revealed.
