Man in German hospital after quintuple Coronavirus vaccine dose
A man on Friday was recovering in a German hospital after accidentally receiving five times the standard dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Health authorities in the eastern German city of Schwerin told the local daily Schweriner Volkszeitung that it had been a regrettable incident, which occurred after the containers with diluted and undiluted versions of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine were mixed up.
As a precaution, the man was taken to the hospital for observation but had so far not shown any signs of problems, the authorities said.
