At a medical institution in Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture, which is vaccinated against the new coronavirus, it was found that the power plug of the refrigerator was unplugged and the temperature inside rose, and the 60 vaccines that had been stored were discarded. It was.
According to Kawagoe City, on the morning of the 8th, at a medical institution in the city, a medical worker opened the refrigerator containing the new coronavirus vaccine and noticed that the inside was not cold.
When I looked at the thermometer in the refrigerator, it was about 20 degrees Celsius.
The refrigerator contained 60 doses of Pfizer vaccine, but it was completely discarded because it was well above the proper storage temperature of 2 to 8 degrees Celsius.
When I checked the refrigerator, it was confirmed that there was no abnormality at 6:30 pm on the 7th because the power plug was unplugged, but the city said about who returned at what time at the end. I don't know.
The city has instructed this medical institution to properly store the vaccine and is calling attention to other medical institutions in the city.
