DALLAS, TX – Several human errors led to an 8-year-old being vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine in Grand Prairie recently. Currently, none of the vaccines administered in the United States are approved for patients under the age of 16.
According to officials, the issue began when the father was able to register the child online for an appointment. The child s father claimed he did not know his son was too young to receive the vaccine.
When an eligible patient is registered online they receive a QR code. This code is then presented at the designated drive-up site.
