No Adverse Effects So Far
Immediately after being notified of the COVID-19 vaccine overdose, the attending physician started monitoring the patient’s health.
Dr. Antonella Vicenti, the director of infectious disease at Noa Hospital where it all happened, said the patient did not develop a fever or experience pain, save for some discomfort at the injection site¹.
The woman remained in the emergency room for 24 hours, where she received fluids, anti-fever, and ant-inflammatory medicines as preventive measures. She was discharged the following day, Monday.
For now, Dr. Vicenti is confident the patient “will certainly not have side-effects.” However, she doesn’t know what the massive dose will do to the woman’s antibody levels and immunity against COVID-19 in the long run. Noa Hospital said they would regularly monitor the patient’s blood and immune response¹.
Pfizer’s phase 1 and 2 clinical trials showed that participants who received higher doses than recommended didn’t develop any severe adverse reactions³.
It’s Not The First Reported Case of COVID-19 Vaccine Overdose
