Too much COVID-19 vaccine given to dozens of inmates in Iowa: report
Fox News
More than 70 inmates at a correctional facility in Iowa were given too much COVID-19 vaccine, according to a local report.
Two medical staff members from the Iowa Department of Corrections reportedly incorrectly administered the vaccine, over-vaccinating the 77 inmates. Both have since been placed on administrative leave, per KCCI, and the department has temporarily halted vaccinations at the prison while an investigation is underway. After realizing the incorrect doses, the Iowa Department of Corrections contacted both Pfizer and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for further guidance. Officials were advised to monitor the inmates for at least 48 hours. They will also receive wellness checks over the next several days, though no major side effects have been reported or are expected, per the news station.More Related News
