The health department is notifying the children’s families
Medical workers in Prince George’s County, Maryland, gave dozens of children ages 5-11 expired COVID-19 vaccines after they were mistakenly stored in the refrigerator with usable doses, the county health department says.
There’s no health risk to the 70 children who received either their first or second dose of the Pfizer vaccine on Friday, Nov. 26 at the Prince George’s Sports and Learning Complex in Landover, but the expired doses are likely to be less effective, Health officials said Thursday.
A provider that wasn’t able to use 300 pediatric Pfizer doses before they expired on Nov. 24 transferred the doses to the clinic at the complex. HealthCare Dynamics International administered all but 70 of the doses before that expiration date, but mistakenly stored the rest in the refrigerator with viable vaccines, the county health department said.
On Nov. 26, the remaining doses, at that point expired, were mistakenly placed on a tray with viable doses and were administered at the clinic that day. The Department has reported the error to MDH and to the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
