According to the New York Post in New York, several hundred residents were injected with an expired coronavirus vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech.
David Savitsky, the operator of the Times Square vaccination facility, sent emails to 899 patients announcing the incident.
According to him, after vaccination, it was found that the drug was stored in the freezer longer than the time allowed before its introduction.
The specialist assured that the incident shouldn’t lead to negative consequences for human health.
Savitsky also recommended that those who received the expired drug be vaccinated again.
