More than 120 doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine have been thrown out after a possible storage error at a nursing home in Melbourne.
Key points:
Twenty-five vials of the vaccine were stored in a fridge but temperatures could not be confirmed
The Health Department says the vials, representing more than 120 doses, were destroyed "out of an abundance of caution"
It is the second bungle relating to the vaccine rollout this week
