The Mankato Hy-Vee team incorrectly diluted COVID vaccines for 62 patients

Hy-Vee confirmed that the team at one of its stores in Minnesota incorrectly diluted a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine that was then administered to 62 patients.

The supermarket chain, whose pharmacies are among three in Minnesota authorized to administer vaccines as part of a federal program, said the incident happened recently at its Riverfront Hy-Vee pharmacy in Mankato.

He says there was an oversight in giving the first dose of the vaccine to 62 patients.

As he explains: “Two members of the pharmacy team used vaccines mixed with a sterile water injection diluent – which is commonly used to dilute injections, instead of the saline diluent provided by Pfizer.”
