Kobe City announced that it had made a mistake in inoculating a new coronavirus with an empty syringe that did not contain the vaccine.
Air has entered the body of the inoculated person, but Kobe City says that there is no health problem with a small amount.
This was revealed at a press conference by the city of Kobe, and according to the city, a mass inoculation was conducted at the "Kita Ward Cultural Center" on the 18th, and women in their 70s were vaccinated without vaccine. It means that there was a mistake in inoculating with a syringe.
It is said that 0.3 ml of air has entered the body of a woman, but Kobe City says that the amount is small and there is no problem with health.
At the venue, the pharmacist sucks the vaccine out of the bottle with a syringe and prepares for vaccination, but it seems that he did not suck the vaccine for some reason during this work.
The doctor who gave the injection noticed that he had re-vaccinated with another syringe on the spot.
Kobe City has apologized to women, and in the future, we would like to have all pharmacists involved in vaccination receive training again and revise the work manual to prevent recurrence.
The city of Kobe just announced on the 17th that it had made a mistake in inoculating a vaccine with an extremely lower concentration than usual.
Hiroyuki Hanada, director of the Kobe City Health Bureau, apologized, "I'm really sorry for the second mistake. I'll do my best to prevent this from happening again."
