Japan's COVID-19 vaccination was once again exposed to mistakes. According to Japanese media reports on the 13th, in Tokyo, four elderly people were vaccinated with vaccines that had been decided to be scrapped; in Kawasaki City, nearly 6400 doses of the vaccine were scrapped due to improper storage.
On the morning of the 13th, at a COVID-19 vaccination site in Tokyo's Chiyoda district, four people in their 70s and 80s were "mistakenly vaccinated with a vaccine scheduled to be scrapped due to improper storage," TBS reported. Chiyoda District said that on the 12th, staff found that a batch of vaccines were not up to the standard storage temperature and decided to scrap them, and marked "prohibited use" on this batch of vaccines, but on the 13th, four elderly people were vaccinated with the scheduled scrapped vaccines.
It is said that so far, the four elderly people have no adverse reactions. Chiyoda District will test them for antibodies in two or three weeks to determine whether they need to be re-vaccinated.
Similar cases of "vaccination scrapped vaccine" and "vaccine scrapped due to poor safekeeping" have emerged one after another in Japan. According to a report by NHK TV on the 13th, a cold storage for Pfizer vaccines in Kawasaki City experienced a "temperature failure". The cold storage environment that was supposed to maintain minus 80 degrees Celsius to minus 60 degrees Celsius once warmed up to 8 or 9 degrees Celsius-and, after investigation, this uncontrolled warming occurred on the 11th and 12th, but it was not discovered until the 13th, resulting in 6396 doses of vaccine scrapped.
Japan launched COVID-19 vaccination on February 17, the first batch of about 4.8 million health care workers, and began vaccinating people over the age of 65 on April 12. Japan has made a lot of mistakes in vaccination over the past few months. there have also been: one person was given three injections of vaccine, one person was given two doses of vaccine on the same day, the interval between the two doses of vaccine was mistaken, the original solution of the vaccine was injected without dilution, blank injections, saline was mistakenly used for vaccination, vaccine with insufficient concentration, and so on.
