Baltimore Sun — Before heading out the door on the morning of Sept. 18, Victoria and Martin Olivier and their 4-year-old daughter struck a deal.
In exchange for good behavior during the family’s pharmacy visit for seasonal flu shots, Colette could expect a sugary treat in her future. So when the Walgreens pharmacist asked “Who wants to go first?” and Colette bravely sprang up to volunteer, her parents felt a wave of relief wash over them.
But relief soon gave way to panic when the pharmacist realized she injected Colette with a dose of the Pfizer vaccine, which is not yet authorized for children younger than 12.
Last week, Pfizer said it would seek clearance from federal regulators in the coming weeks for children to receive the shots — but only for a regimen of about a third of the dosage given to adults.
Olivier called the pharmacist’s admission of error a “record-scratch” moment that she feared could have dire implications for her daughter: Did Colette need to go to the hospital? Would she develop life-threatening side effects from the adult dose? Did they now need to schedule a second-dose appointment for her?
The Olivier family raced home and began digging through internet-based resources. A 24/7 nurse’s hotline and Poison Control yielded few answers. She turned to a robust network of social media friends for help.

“I won’t be getting a flu vax this year because of this very risk.”
Same here. Been getting my flu shot at the same pharmacy for 20+ years. Told them of my concern and they just shook their collective heads in dis-belief.
This mistake seems to be happening more and more.
Wonder how many times we’ve been jabbed with who knows what all these years.
I’m thinking a setup...................
"I won’t be getting a flu vax this year because of this very risk."
;-)
I think it’s a made-up story. All part of the show
Thankfully, I got my final shingles vaccine in late 2019, before this crap started. That was my last.
Seeing the insanity and hard fascism going on now, I can seriously see health providers “mistakenly” giving the COVID shot to people unknown to them, to get the “numbers up” as mandated. I can even see blood draws for lab work being suspect in a similar regard.
Why would anyone try to give a four year old a flu shot?
I should have added that I got a tetanus shot (May 2021) for a stupid thing I did (mashed foot with bike kickstand in the dark) but the gal nurse just came into my exam room with a syringe - I don’t think it was the vaxx because I had absolutely no symptoms, not even a sore arm, afterward.
Still I cannot say I haven’t been vaxxed but I’m certain I didn’t get tetanus. ;-(
Lesson: Make sure you see the vial/packaging for your “shot” whatever it may be.
I suspect it’s an insurance scam in the works..................
LoL I was running outdoors in -13 weather.
I think it’s an insurance $cam................
Because this generation of parents are over protective morons snowflakes.
Did the child die?
I can’t think of an argument…
This is happening too often for it to be a mistake. That poor little girl.
I had to get bloodwork yesterday and I had to listen to people talking about getting their booster covid shots.
We also have a family friend in the hospital with myocarditis due to the first covid shot.
Walgreens AND the pharmacist...$Ka-Ching$!!!
Why would a 4 y/o get a flu shot?
Pediatricians push them
Seems to be happening a lot. I wonder why.
