The
case of two aged care residents mistakenly being given four times the
recommended dosage of the Pfizer
COVID-19 vaccine in the first week of Australia's rollout is not
without precedent, but nor is it a cause for panic.
Federal
Health Minister Greg Hunt said the pair — an 88 year old man and a 94
year old woman – were being monitored and were "showing no signs at all of
an adverse reaction".
In
Germany's Pfizer vaccine rollout, eight
aged care workers received up to five times the recommended dose of
the Pfizer jab. Four
were later hospitalised after developing flu-like symptoms.
The doctor has been stood down.
