Speaking to Shems FM, the regional health director in Kebili, Samir Marzouk, confirmed that an error dosage happened on the national vaccination day. 61 students were administrated concentrated doses of Pfizer vaccine at the Ibn Haytham high school vaccination centre.
He revealed that usually, the vaccination process requires adding a solution to dilute the vaccine, although this was not done. A crisis unit has been created to monitor the state of health of these students who are doing well according to Samir Marzouk.
The incident did not leave the parents of the students silent. AbdelJalil Bouazza, whose daughter was vaccinated with an overly concentrated dose of the vaccine, said it was not just a slip but gross negligence. He evoked that the students in question are minors between the ages of 15 and 17. This neglect had relatively severe repercussions on the state of health of these young people and caused them a high fever and great fatigue with pain in the joints and rib cage.
He called on the health ministry to issue a formal apology and monitor the state of health of those affected, most of whom are in principle beyond the danger stage. He likewise said that the parents of the students concerned decided to file a complaint with the kebili court of first instance but also with the delegate for Child Protection.
