In another COVID vaccine mishap, a 91-year-old man from Hamilton, Ohio, nearly died after receiving two doses of the shot just hours apart on the same day.
Victor Smith went into shock after receiving two doses of the Moderna COVID vaccine back-to-back within a four-hour period instead of weeks apart in a case of mistaken identity, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported.
Smith, who is currently recovering from the accidental double-shot dose, received his first shot of the COVID vaccine at the Fort Hamilton Hospital on Jan. 22 and was scheduled to get his second shot of the Moderna vaccine on Feb. 25.
