During the Knox County Board of Healthâs bi-weekly meeting Wednesday night, Dr. Martha Buchanan, senior director of the Knox County Health Department, said that the KCHD had inadvertently disposed of a tray of 975 Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines that the department believes workers had confused with dry ice shipments.
âThe Pfizer vaccine comes in a pretty nondescript box and without.packing slips,â Buchanan said. âIt was a set of second dose vaccines that we had not been given advance notice that they were coming and it looked liked a pack of dry ice which they also ship.â
Most likely, the mistake was not simply the fault of the KCHD, but was also the result of technical failings on the part of Pfizer. In a media briefing earlier Tuesday afternoon, Buchanan said that the health department had requested an investigation from the state into how the various tracking and monitoring mechanisms had seemingly failed.
