Loudoun County Pharmacy Gives Wrong COVID Vaccine Doses To 5-11-Year-Olds
November 12, 2021 By Haley Strack
Shortly after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced vaccine rollouts for children aged 5-11, incompetent officials in Loudoun County, Virginia, have already administered the wrong shot to more than 100 young children. Ted Pharmacy in Aldie can no longer administer COVID-19 vaccines, after giving a reported 112 young children the wrong dosage.
The Virginia Department of Health confirmed on Friday that 112 kids in this age group were given a COVID-19 vaccine suited for people 12 or older. The pharmacy simply gave the adult formula to the 5-11-year-olds in smaller amounts.
“Because they did not have the children’s formulation they used the adult formulation but only gave a third of the amount to the children,” said David Goodfriend, director of the Loudoun County Health Department. “Our understanding from Ted Pharmacy is they were trying to do a workaround, which is not authorized.”
