Indiana parents say children having adverse reactions after mistaken adult dose of COVID-19 vaccine


Parents from Indiana say their two children are suffering adverse reactions after they were mistakenly given an adult dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at Walgreens.

Joshua and Alexandra Price took their four-year-old son and five-year-old daughter to Walgreens for the flu shot a week ago, but the children and parents were all mistakenly given the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

An appointment Tuesday showed Lukas was doing better, but Sophia’s blood pressure “is in the 98th percentile and she continues to have no energy,” Alexandra told the news outlet.

Alexandra and Joshua also experienced symptoms such as high blood pressure, headaches, fever and chest pains from receiving their third, unplanned dose.

Funny how it seems that these mistakes are only happening at Walgreens. Once is a mistake, twice is poor training. Three or more times is intent.
