So this story came up today via Focus (just after 12).
Up in the Vorpommern-Ruggen area (way up in NE Germany)....the vaccine team yesterday (Sunday) arrived at some old-folks home to administrator Covid-19 shots.
Now, no one really says the background or training-level of the vaccine team, and it probably begs to be asked.
The vaccine team set things up and got ready with the first couple of folks....to be the eight employees on duty (7 ladies, and 1 guy).
Somewhere in the process....the vaccine person set up the doses. What they put in each 'unit'? FIVE times the correct amount. So each of the eight got five times the 'juice' needed.
Someone must have said something, and this discussion started up. The manager dismissed the eight (sent home). Then the next event occurs (Monday AM).....four of the folks were a bit 'sickly' and the health authorities decided to send them off to the local hospital to be looked after. They didn't utter the word 'quarantine' but you'd assume they were treated in a 'special' way.
The vaccine makers? They had tested larger doses on people, and in the studies.....nothing much adverse happen except for maybe flu-like issues.
As for the eight folks? I would imagine that in three to four weeks as they return for dose number two....they will be asking for a real expert, and be a bit skeptical of the shot-crew.
You would think....on the side of the bottle, it'd say x-dose equals x-amount. Course, maybe the shot-crew is made up of nursing students or doctor-kids in med-school.
Update this PM (Tuesday): One of the eight is fairly bad off. What they say....as you draw the vaccine out of the bottle....it's supposed to be mixed with a saline solution (5 to 1 ratio apparently), and someone simply put the full mix vaccine into the shot device.
