Elderly woman in Buriram mistakenly given two vaccine jabs in a day

[webfact]

 

A 70-year-old woman in Thailand’s northeastern province of Buriram was mistakenly given two shots of AstraZeneca vaccine on the same day at a vaccination centre in the province. Fortunately, she has not yet developed any serious side effects.

 

This unprecedented incident was disclosed to the media in Buriram today (Wednesday) by the woman, Somwang Jukul, a resident of Sadao sub-district in Nang Rong district, and her son Boonsong, who is a lawyer.

 

Mrs. Somwang said her son took her and her husband and another relative to the vaccination centre for their second vaccine doses on August 14th, after having had their first jabs of Sinovac vaccine on July 24th.

I wonder if she has been given a follow up appointment for 12 weeks time to receive her "second" dose?

Makes me wonder if they have written it all wrong in the Cigna commercial line under the article. Maybe it should have been about life insurance.

Fortunately, she is not getting any adverse reaction. May be it is saline water? ????
Not so lucky this 91 years old person in the USA who got the same misfortune.

Now if this were the USA, I would be quite suspicious...but in this case...what was the son doing when Mom was queuing up for her second jab of the day ?

There was a woman in Italy who accidentally received a full vial, 6 doses, of Pfizer vaccine with no side effects.

It says this was for her second dose.  What's odd is that she had her first dose a couple of weeks before that.  The first one must have been Sinovac.

At least she got two jabs of Astra now.

I wondered if she was senile?

 

Its hard not to know you only need one shot unless you're mentally impaired.

One way to get the vaccination count up.

It is three months between doses for foreigners here on Samui. Less for Thais! ????

woman got 5 doses at once still walks around if the news is correct.

 

most problems are there already with people who have problems, seems as if the vaccin works as a catalysator in those cases.
