WTF thousands of Californian's given the wrong dose of the vaccine



"Thousands of people who visited a mass vaccination site in Oakland, California, on March 1 received the wrong dosage of the Pfizer vaccine, KTVU reported.

An estimated 4,300 people were administered less than the recommended dose while getting a shot at the Oakland Coliseum, two unnamed medical workers told the media outlet.

The optimal vaccine dosage is 0.3-mL of Pfizer but thousands of people received around 0.2 mL, KTVU said.

Due to a problem with the syringes, too little of the COVID-19 vaccine was administered, the media outlet reported.

The mixup took place in the morning but was identified and resolved by 2 pm, state officials confirmed to KTVU.

Both agencies that run the mass vaccination site - the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency - were unaware of the issue until KTVU alerted them of it on March 2.

Cal OES, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, State Department of Public Health, United States Health and Human Services (HHS), and Pfizer held emergency meetings on March 2 to discuss the error, a California OES spokesperson told the media outlet.

Cal OES did not deny that a lesser dose had been given. Instead, a spokesman told KTVU that the amount not given to people was "negligible." Therefore, nobody had been called back for an extra booster shot, he said.

Cal OES said that Pfizer had told the agency that there's no reason to be concerned, unless someone were to receive less than half of a single shot - in which case they should get another shot right away.

The public should be "rest assured that vaccines administered at the Coliseum are being dispensed in a manner consistent with medical and scientific best practices and will work as designed," officials said, per KRON4

Dr. John Swartzberg, UC Berkeley public health clinical professor emeritus of infectious diseases and vaccinology, told KTVU Saturday that people "should be fine" as long as they get their second dose of the vaccine.

The California Department of Health have neither confirmed nor denied the allegations provided to KTVU earlier in the week, KTVU reported Sunday."

Officials in several European countries pushed back Friday against decisions by others to pause use of AstraZeneca’s (AZN) coronavirus vaccine following sporadic reports of blood clots, despite a lack of evidence the shot was responsible. German Health Minister Jens Spahn said that while the country takes reports of possible harmful effects from vaccines “very, very seriously,” both the European Medicines Agency and Germany’s own vaccine oversight body have said they have no evidence of an increase in dangerous blood clots in connection with the shots. “I regret that on the basis of the knowledge, as of Friday morning, some countries in the European Union have suspended vaccinations with AstraZeneca,” Spahn told reporters in Berlin."

So much drama in Europe over the Astra zeneca vaccine

SASKATOON -- As people begin to soak up more of the springtime sun, the rays may offer more than just a reprieve from cabin fever.

"A new study finds that COVID-19 patients, particularly Black patients, with high vitamin D levels may have a lower risk of being infected with COVID-19.

University of Chicago Medicine researchers, who published their findings in the medical journal JAMA Open Network, studied 3,000 patients who had their vitamin D levels tested within two weeks before a COVID-19 test.

“These new results tell us that having vitamin D levels above those normally considered sufficient is associated with decreased risk of testing positive for COVID-19, at least in Black individuals,” lead author of the study Dr. David Meltzer said in a press release.

Vitamin D can be produced by the body in response to skin’s exposure to sunlight, but can also be obtained through diet and supplements. Meltzer explained that people with darker skin generally have lower levels of vitamin D.

Doctors mostly recommend vitamin D levels of 30 ng/ml to be sufficient for people to be healthy. But the study found Black patients whose levels were between 30 to 40 ng/ml had a 2.6 times higher risk of testing positive for COVID-19 -- compared to those with levels of 40 ng/ml.

“This supports arguments for designing clinical trials that can test whether or not vitamin D may be a viable intervention to lower the risk of the disease, especially in persons of colour," Meltzer, who’s also chief of Hospital Medicine at UChicago Medicine, added."
