By mistake, a cleaning lady in France unplugged a fridge containing 1 056 vials of vaccine stored in one of the vaccination centers managed by the municipality of Angers.
As reported by regional daily Ouest-France, all the doses of the Pfizer vaccine, 5 796 for adults and 1 280 for children, were thrown in the trash, for lack of having been stored in the required conditions.
On its website, Pfizer recalled that a thawed vial should be stored at between 2 and 8° C. “Before use, the unopened bottle can be stored for a maximum of two hours at temperatures up to 30° C”, specified the pharmaceutical giant.
The first internal investigations quickly made it possible to rule out the hypothesis of a malicious act allegedly committed by an anti-vaccine activist. However, this did not prevent the mayor of Angers from filing a complaint.
