ANOTHER Walgreens Gives Adult Dose of COVID Vaccine to Child, This Time a 5-Year-Old in Florida
Another Walgreens has been caught giving an adult dosage of the COVID-19 vaccine to a child, this time a 5-year-old boy in Florida.
The mother of the boy, Erin Slutak, said that the worker claimed that they messed up because they were focusing on her son’s allergies.
“He was more concerned that my son has allergies and he was worried about that as opposed to giving him the proper vaccine,” Slutak said.
A similar situation happened at a Maryland Walgreens in September, when a pharmacist mistakenly gave a four-year-old girl the COVID vaccine instead of a flu shot.
The child, Colette Olivier, was injected with the adult dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. It is currently only approved for children who are at least 12-years-old.
