Overseas Network, December 29th Today, Russian TV reported on the 28th that 8 staff members of German nursing homes were "accidentally" injected with a 5-fold normal dose of Pfizer vaccine, of which 4 were admitted to the hospital for treatment due to influenza and COVID-19 symptoms. The relevant person in charge said that the situation was caused by personal mistakes and insisted that it is safe to inject large doses of the vaccine.
On the 27th local time, eight staff members of a nursing home in Stralsund, a town in northeastern Germany were vaccinated with a 5-fold Pfizer vaccine, which is 150 micrograms. Among these 8 people, 7 female and 1 male, aged between 38 and 54 years old. The "accident" occurred on the first day when Germany began vaccinating medical staff and elderly people.
htmlOn the 28th, Stephen Coles, the chief executive of the nursing home, said that after 8 people received the excessive vaccine, four people developed symptoms similar to influenza and new coronary pneumonia. In order to prevent the worsening of the disease, they have been arranged to be hospitalized for treatment. "I feel deeply sorry for this incident." Coles said, hoping that those affected will not have serious side effects.According to a spokesperson for the German BioNTech Company (BioNTech), although the prescribed dose of the vaccine is only 30 micrograms, the researchers have conducted "increased dose" experiments in clinical trials and found that doses up to 100 micrograms are tolerant and have no "serious consequences". However, the normal dose is 150 micrograms, far exceeding the 100 micrograms in the trial, and it is not clear whether there have been clinical trials that have tested such a high dose.
