This is awful. "Mistake"
I'd like some input from those in healthcare field -- how is a "mistake" like this possible?
quote:
A family from southern Indiana says their 4- and 5-year-old children were accidentally given adult COVID-19 vaccines, rather than a flu shot, at Walgreens, even as the vaccination has not been approved for children younger than 12.
quote:
The children have been taken to a pediatric cardiologist, and the family was told they were both showing signs of heart issues, and the younger child has been sick with a fever and cough, WFIE reported.

This country needs to bring back public flogging.

Not excusing the employee ... if I posted what I would do, I'd get banned.
But why get a 4 and 5 year old a Flu shot?
The best way to build an immune system is to have it get busy working at a safe, young age. As Carlin said, swim in raw sewage, eat dirt, yada, yada, yada ...
I'll never understand folks who put crap in their body and don't trust their God-given immune system.

I believe they were given adult dosages to boot.

This is not shocking. This will continue to happen sadly
You get in such a routine for giving regular Covid shots, and you’ve gotta separate those syringes with the flu shots syringes . It’s an easy recipe for errors and mistakes .
All retail pharmacies are overwhelmed . Between flu shot season ( that alone is enough) to adding first/second shots for Covid and boosters and soon younger than teenagers in.. it’s so much to keep up with.
And some states they’ve allowed technicians to administer them, which I get why, but it defeats the purpose if they’re giving shots, then other stuff in the pharmacy can’t get done
And the fact that staffing is a nightmare, nobody wants to be a technician and work to death for $12 an hour
Covid has broken retail pharmacy . It is a nightmare , even more so than it usually is

My dad went to Safeway to get a flu shot and a Pfizer booster, pharmacist "accidentally" gave him 2 boosters...I too would like to know why these "mistakes" keep happening.

why were they getting the flu vaccine to begin with?

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is not the first time this has happened. I don’t trust anyone nowadays

This is what medical malpractice attorney's are for.
But keep in mind, in some states they basically no longer exist because legislatures have capped what a plaintiff can earn to something so low that no-one wants to be that kind of lawyer anymore. Not in all states, but some.
So instead of getting a million dollars for this mistake, if you are in Louisiana you will get up to 500,000 lifetime maximum.
