According to the city of Kamakura, a foreign substance was found in one Pfizer vaccine at the venue of the mass inoculation of the new coronavirus vaccine held at the city hall on the 12th.

According to the city, the floating matter was about 1 mm in size.
The lot number of this vaccine is FF5357, but other vaccines with the same lot number were used as they were because there were no visual abnormalities.
