A 23-year-old girl who was given six doses of this Pfizer BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine was discharged from the hospital in which she had been monitored for any adverse response.
The individual, who’s in”good health” without any inherent ailments, was retained at the hospital under strict monitoring for 24 hours and discharged Monday, Gianelli said.
A physician unintentionally filled a syringe with an whole bottle of this vaccine, comprising a total of six doses, and just realized her error soon after the shot has been administered.
“She watched five vacant syringes and recognized her error,” Gianelli said.

Physicians will continue to track the patient’s immune reaction to this”massive dose of vaccine,” the spokeswoman said.
The individual was entitled to find the vaccine prior to other people in her age category since she’s an intern at the hospital’s psychology department, she added.
An internal investigation was opened,” said Gianelli, who added that it was”not only human mistake, definitively not on purpose”
At the start of April, the Italian government passed a decree making vaccination compulsory for all health care and pharmacy employees, with the intent of protecting medical staff, patients and vulnerable men and women.
Healthcare employees who deny the vaccine will probably be reassigned where potential to functions in which they’re not in touch with patients. Where that isn’t a choice they face being suspended without pay.
It remains unclear whether the decree is inherent, and several think prospective legal cases on the vaccines are probably.
Following months of documenting some of the maximum disease rates in Europe, Italy is seeing a decrease in Covid-19 figures.
