Maryland County to Revaccinate 70 Children After Giving Them Expired Doses
The Maryland State Health Department has announced that they are going to re-vaccinate approximately 70 children in Prince George’s County after they were given expired doses of the Pfizer vaccine.
The department claims that the children, aged 5-11, are not at risk of health issues due to the error.
The doses given to children on November 26 at the Wayne K. Curry Sports and Learning Center in Landover, were expired by two days.
George L. Askew, deputy chief administrative officer for health, human services, and education, told the Washington Post that the Health Department reached out to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to figure out how to handle the situation.
They decided to give the kids another dose.
