An Israeli pharmacist who allegedly gave four doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine by injection has said in news outlets that it feels good and encourages others to be “optimistic” about the flash.
“I have no problem taking four doses again,” Maqabi Healthcare Services pharmacist Uday Azizi told Channel 12 news, according to the Times of Israel. “Let’s be optimistic … about the vaccine, the whole situation and the new year.”
The error was allegedly committed with the number of doses contained in each Pfizer vial. After dilution, each vial contains five doses of 0.3 ml per dose, according to the FDA.
