Maine CDC advised Covid vaxx dose 2997 micrograms in excess of correct dose for 6 month to 4 y.o.!! Correct dose was 3 micrograms.

Those decimal places in the metric system are tough.

OMG, using mg instead of mcg! That is THREE orders of magnitude. I pray no children or infants were harmed by that horrendous error.

Heads should roll right up to the top for that egregious mistake.

You might want to recheck your math Mrs. AV

[Chode]

so this poison doesn’t come prediluted to a children’s dosage?

it’s being cut by staff???

Dose they advised initially = 3 mg (equals 3000 micrograms)
Correct dose = 3 micrograms
3000 - 3 = 2997

never should have let the gov’t anywhere near healthcare.

Anybody who gives a Covid Vaccine to their kid deserves what they get, no matter what the does.

I hope to God no children were harmed by this error.

Considering the vaccines for kids this age haven't been authorized or distributed yet I think the kids are safe for now.

No one will be fired if anyone is harmed.

Iatrogenic deaths are well over 250,000 people a year here by docs and nurses. In a multitude of ways things get screwed up.

No one loses a career. Its the only job that allows these killings because “medicine is an art”.

No. it must be diluted on-site which is another huge potential for error, especially since I am not convinced they have qualified people giving the injections.
I remember reading that the reason the CDC gave for not stipulating aspiration on injection was that it was too many steps for the trainees to remember(that speaks volumes).

Makes me wonder how many of these terrible adverse reactions are actually caused by overdoses of the vaccine!

Okay, I have to ask - I keep seeing “SMH” - what does it mean?

[Atomic Vomit]

The point is, Maine CDC is seen as an authoritative source. The fact that they sent out a directive with an egregiously incorrect dose to thousands tells me that no one is double - checking their work product.
Once again, these are not serious people. I want serious people with a sense of duty and an ethical framework in positions of authority in my state.

Not aspirating the needle (to check for a vein hit) could’ve caused the shot to go into the circulatory system, with the resulting adverse reactions (clots, etc.).

Shake my head.
