The error is extremely rare in view of the millions of doses already administered in France, but there is no doubt that it should not make those concerned smile.
Seven patients among the 200 who were vaccinated on the morning of July 27 at the La Flèche vaccination center (Sarthe) received an injection of physiological serum instead of the vaccine, reports

.
A defect in the preparation of the doses, fortunately without any danger to health, was indeed noted a posteriori by the vaccination center.
It results from the fact that physiological saline is usually diluted in small amounts in the vaccine.
All 200 people vaccinated that day were called back and invited to perform an immunity test against Covid-19.
Those who have not received an active vaccine ingredient will obviously have to be revaccinated.
As of Tuesday, only four people in this situation had been identified.
