A GP clinic in Melbourne in Australia has apologised to 30 patients who booked in to receive a Pfizer vaccination last Sunday, saying they may have received a harmless saline injection by mistake.
Deepdene Surgery said in a statement the error occurred when "empty vaccine vials were used for preparing some of the syringes intended for vaccination".
The clinic said of the patients potentially affected, the 17 that went to get their first dose of Pfizer would be offered another dose, and 13 patients that went for their second dose would be given a follow-up jab in three weeks.
