Virginia pharmacy gives 112 kids wrong doses of COVID vaccine

At least 112 Virginia children were given wrong doses of COVID-19 vaccines after a local pharmacy tried to make up for not having the new shots for kids, according to local officials.

Ted Pharmacy in Aldie “incorrectly administered” partial doses of adult vaccines to the kids — likely either not fully protecting them or even giving them too much, the Loudoun County Health Department said.

“Because they did not have the children’s formulation they used the adult formulation but only gave a third of the amount to the children,” the health department’s director, David Goodfriend, told the Washington Post.

“Our understanding from Ted Pharmacy is they were trying to do a workaround, which is not authorized,” he said.

“If it doesn’t all go in, or it goes into the body but doesn’t go into the muscle, or you didn’t draw it up exactly to the [correct] line, there’s a chance you might get too little vaccine,” he said.

“There’s also a chance it could have given too much,” he admitted.

Dasha Hermosilla told Fox 5 that she noticed her 7-year-old daughter getting the vaccine with a purple cap — meant for those age 12 and older — rather than the new younger kids’ one with an orange cap.

“I would have never done this if I knew they were giving the adult reformulated vaccine. Absolutely not,” said Hermosilla.

“I should’ve pushed her to show me the vial of orange which she didn’t have and then I should’ve left.”

I don’t see the big deal. Can’t you get myocarditis from either dose?

WAKE UP AMERICA...

this is the liberals at work...praise be to God, I have no kids in that age bracket...this Government has over stepped their boundaries ....

It sounded to me like they gave the right dosage for their age. They just gave it from the vials marked for adults instead of the vials marked for kids.

As long as they got the dosage right, I’m not sure it matters. It didn’t sound like one vial was any more concentrated than the other.

Sure it was an “accident”

Sure it was

Yup I really believe this bs

I see the vaccine boxes (don’t work directly with them) in the context of my work and in recent days I noticed smaller refrigerated packages indicating to me the notion that smaller doses for kids come in smaller packages for starters.

Does it really matter since ZERO healthy children 17 and under have died from Covid-19?

There was no sound reason to give them any vax.

[TigersEye]

Distinct differences in packaging is actually a good idea.

“Because they did not have the children’s formulation they used the adult formulation but only gave a third of the amount to the children,”

This is extraordinary - and these are medical professionals? You don't have to have any formal medical training to know that is not how it works for any medication. It isn't just the amount it is the formulation that is different for children and adults for numerous types of treatments.

Good grief.

Too bad. The parents wanted to jab their kids who have almost no chance of any illness, let alone death.

[matt04]

Amen.

“The parents wanted to jab their kids”

The extent of their understanding is “Vaccine good.” Low IQ parents.

So they die a little quicker. What difference, at this point, does it make?

about 5,000 age 9 and under have died across approx 77 countries reporting age at death (and I’m assuming the Unicef figures below are worldwide) Not enough to justify immunizing any child under 10 , in my opinion

11,700 deaths in children under 20 with 58% in those 10 to 20 and 42% (about 5,000) in children 9 and under:

I share your opinion. Did they categorize their stats into 'healthy' and 'had underlying conditions?'

How deadly is Covid-19 to children anyway?

Provisional COVID-19 Deaths: Focus on Ages 0-18 Years NCHS and CDC - Data Last Updated November 10, 2021

Age group - 0 to 4 yrs; 210 deaths

Age group - 5 to 18 yrs; 490 deaths

Johns Hopkins Study Found Zero COVID Deaths Among Healthy Kids July 21, 2021

calculating accurate IFRs is important. To generate the best estimates possible, a team of scientists led by Megan O'Driscoll and Henrik Salje collected data on COVID-19 deaths in 45 countries and nearly two dozen seroprevalence studies (which determine the percentage of a population that has antibodies against the coronavirus and, hence, the percentage likely to have been infected). Using this data, they determined sex- and age-specific IFRs. (See chart.)
